International career

edit

With the Italy U17 side, Frattesi took part in the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship,[32] where they were eliminated in the first round following a 4–2 defeat to eventual finalists Spain in the final group match.[33]

With the Italy U19 he took part in the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and scored one goal in the tournament, which came in a 3–2 win against Portugal in the first round;[34] Italy reached the final, where they faced the same opponent, losing 4–3 after extra time.[35]

The following year he took part in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup with the Italy U20 squad. He scored in Italy's opening 2–1 win against Mexico,[36] and in a 4–2 win over Mali in the quarter-finals;[37] the team were eliminated in the semi-finals by Ukraine following a 1–0 defeat,[38] eventually finishing the tournament in fourth place after losing out 1–0 to Ecuador in the bronze medal match.[39]

Style of play

edit

Considered to be one of the most promising young Italian talents of his generation, Frattesi is a dynamic, technically gifted, and physical midfielder, who is known for his stamina, tactical qualities, and ability to assist his team both offensively and defensively. He is capable of both creating attacking plays and scoring goals himself due to his ability to read the game and make late runs into the box. Although he played as an attacking midfielder in his youth, he normally plays as a central midfielder in the mezzala role, but is also capable of playing as a defensive midfielder.[50][51][52]
