«Breaking Pic News» Roberto Mancini is playing Queen and the Rolling Stones in Italy training

Italy coach Roberto Mancini is trying something new to motivate his players.

For the first time in Italy training sessions, music is being played from a speaker attached to a mobile phone.

'It's a new thing. I've been here for three years and until now I've only heard it in the changing room,' Italy and AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma said on Tuesday.

'Yesterday, we trained with a bit of music, it seemed strange to me, and I asked the goalkeeping coach. He explained to me that Mancini likes working like this because it gives a bit of extra enthusiasm.'

The playlist for Monday's session included the likes of Queen, Miley Cyrus, The Rolling Stones, and The Killers. Interestingly, there wasn't a single Italian song played.

Mancini is trying everything as he tries to haul Italy out of its lowest point, after missing the World Cup for the first time in nearly six decades.

Italy host Poland in Bologna on Friday then visit Portugal three days later. They are Mancini's first competitive matches in charge and the Azzurri's first since failing to qualify for the World Cup last November.

Music is not the only new thing in the Italy training camp. Five players received their first call-ups, although 17-year-old Monaco forward Pietro Pellegri has pulled out with injury.

Mancini launched an appeal on Monday for Italian clubs to play Italians and to have the 'courage' to use young players but Nicolo Barella believes it is up to them to prove they're worth the risk.

'It is up to us who are playing to try to always improve more and raise the level while waiting for others to come through to give us a hand in the national team,' the 21-year-old Cagliari midfielder said.

'There are talented Italian youngsters, who are ready to take the step up. We just have to wait and have faith.'

Barella has been called up by Mancini before but has yet to play for the senior national team.

Fiorentina midfielder Marco Benassi agreed with Mancini, having worked under coaches who have given him the chance and others who have kept him sidelined.

'Mancini is right, you need courage to send youngsters onto the pitch,' the 23-year-old Benassi said. '(Andrea) Stramaccioni had that when he gave me my debut at 18 with Inter.

'At Torino, I spent two months on the bench and so two years ago, I told myself there wasn't any space for me, I don't know if that was because of technique or age. However, I decided to change clubs and I was right.'

‘It’s a new thing. I’ve been here for three years and until now I’ve only heard it...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
