When the name Manuel Marani is mentioned, people think of one thing and one thing only. Goals. However, Marani has much more to his game, and that much more could punish England. Being San Marino’s second highest scorer of all time with an impressive 2 goals in 31 caps it’s easy to see why he gets his nickname Manuel ‘Goals’ Marani. Marani is a player who likes to drop deep and occupy the playmaker role at times, and with England undecided at the back, his inclusion could cause real problems. At 28 years old, Marani’s best years are still well ahead of him and a good performance against England will make it increasingly difficult for Russi to keep hold of him.
