Gai has a bad game.
Italy U-21 Players look like OVER-35!
Balotelli and Abate are bigger than than every player in Israel's Squad... and don't let me start talking about their defense.
in the end, Gai was physically inferior to the Italians, and that's why he had a bad game, each time he tried to do something some huge Italian just ran him over hehe.
He needs to become stronger, although Messi was the same at that age.
