Monza midfielder Andrea Colpani admits he studies the game of former Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta.

Colpani is enjoying his first week with the Italy squad thanks to a superb season so far.

He said, "On the pitch, (Leo) Messi leaves me speechless, but above all Iniesta. The Illusionist, my idol forever. He was capable of making the ball disappear and reappear.

"(Kevin) De Bruyne a point of reference today? Yes, but he's a lot more physical than me. The player I really enjoy watching is (Jude) Bellingham.

"He has everything, technique and athleticism, but above all he always manages to be in the right place at the right time."
