Azzurri legend Sandro Mazzola felt Torino fullback Matteo Darmian shocked everyone with his performance against England.
Darmian was outstanding in Italy's 2-1 World Cup win.
Mazzola remarked: "I didn't expect Matteo Darmian to be so decisive at these levels, but he really impressed me. England didn't realise he was there and it allowed us to punish them. Mind you, if they had covered more down Darmian's area of the pitch, it might've opened up space somewhere else."
