Pocognoli Wants Smiling Gilmour for Scotland Success

New Scotland manager Sébastien Pocognoli hopes a "smiling" Billy Gilmour will be central to Scotland's improvement following their bruising World Cup campaign. Gilmour excelled in Pocognoli's debut as manager, which ended in a goalless draw against Slovenia. orlando-books.blog

The Napoli midfielder missed the World Cup through injury, but Pocognoli believes he has the quality to make a difference. "If you have a player who plays one touch without even looking where he puts it means he understands the game plan," the manager said. Players also need consistent game time at their clubs, according to Pocognoli.
