Italy is a country well known for breeding some of the world’s best footballing talents and it has been evident over the past years. There have been a lot of young stars to have emerged from the country and with the trend still continuing, there’s every chance that these young stars will continue finding their way to the senior national team as long as they can continue to prove themselves on the pitch.

Last month, Sandro Tonali was punished for a nasty challenge he made during an Under-21 outing with the young Italian side. The red card meant that he would no longer finish the rest of the games that his team had to play in for the rest of the recently concluded international break after he was slapped with the penalty of a three-game ban. He was punished for his carelessness after stamping on an opponent player, which in turn made him get a straight red card.
