'He needs to hold on to humility and keep learning' - Bonucci gives Kean advice

Leonardo Bonucci had advice for his Juventus and Italy teammate Moise Kean. “He needs to hold on to the humility and keep learning.”

The 19-year-old was on target in Italy’s 2-0 victory over Finland on Saturday evening, the opening game in their Euro 2020 qualifying group.

“Kean is destined for greatness. He has the quality and the strength, so the only element he needs to hold on to is the humility and focus to keep learning from those around him,” Bonucci told Rai Sport.

This was the first Italy match of 2019 and Roberto Mancini’s men were a little rusty, but still came close to more goals with Fabio Quagliarella.

“It was an emotional night, it was important to start on the right foot and that is what we did.

“We tried a bit too hard to get the second goal and ran some risks, but once we did score with Kean, it all became much simpler.

“There are still things to work on, but after five months apart, it was important to get back into the movements and tactics of the Nazionale.”
