THE Federico Bascirotto was called up for the first time in his career in the Italian national team, with Roberto Mancini to reward her stopper Leche for his maiden Serie A season.
The Italian national team coach wanted to call the 26-year-old central defender to inform him about it, but the Lecce player never answered the federation coach’s call.
This happened because Bastsiroto he thought the call he received on his phone was spam!
“After the draw with Monza, we stopped in Milan to celebrate and yesterday (Monday) I had lunch with my agent. I left a store and got a call. The number was not in my contacts. I thought someone wanted to congratulate me or it could have been a promotion call, spam. I thought, ‘If it’s something important, they’ll call back.'”the Italian defender initially stated.
“After two minutes, the same number called, so I answered. “Bassi, I’m the coach.” I can recognize Marco Baroni’s voice, I talk to him every day. It could have been an old coach of mine, so I asked, “Which coach?” and said, “Coach Mancini”he continued.
THE Bastsiroto was… shocked: “Oh, coach, I’m sorry…”.
“I want to congratulate you on your survival and say that you have been called up for the Nations League. Are you available to join?’Mancini asked him. “I; Available; Tell me where and when and I’ll come on foot!”concluded the surprised stopper.
