Riccardo-Saponara-EmpoliEmpoli midfielder Riccardo Saponara is confident his first senior Italy call-up will arrive soon as the Tuscan outfit continue their surge up the league table.

The Italian has been integral to the success of Empoli this term and believes the visit of Frosinone on Saturday afternoon will provide the perfect opportunity to exorcise the demons of September’s reverse fixture, where the midfielder was dismissed in defeat for Marco Giampaolo’s side.

“I want to rewrite over that bad night and Saturday will be my chance and one for the team to do so,” Saponara told Radio Lady.

“They [Frosinone] closely resemble the type of team that we were last year.

“They have focused on staff and that has led them to Serie A, carrying out a project despite the difficulties that knew they had to deal with.”

Saponara arrived from AC Milan after a devastating leg break but has been able to showcase his creative qualities at Empoli, leading many to believe he merits a call-up to the Azzurri.

“By now everyone knows that I play best as an attacking midfielder,” Saponara added.

“The current coach’s ideas seem incompatible with my technical skills and I understand that.

“I know my time will come soon.”
