Juventus striker Mpise Kean happy to be back with Italy

Juventus striker Mpise Kean is delighted to be back for Italy.

Kean featured in the win against Malta last week.

“The coach took a big step towards me, he really helped me understand how I should be moving on the pitch. Now it's up to me to repay that faith," Kean told RAI Sport.

“We play a very attacking football with Spalletti, which I really like. Against Malta, he asked me to attack the space and see a lot of the ball. I feel my teammates have faith in me and it's a really good squad.

“When you are young, you make mistakes. I understood my mistakes, now it's up to me to prove on and off the field that I can be counted on. When the coach calls, I will make sure I am ready."
