ROME (AP) — Manuel Locatelli is finally living up to his promise as Italy’s next great midfielder. He scored twice in a 3-0 win over Switzerland that made Italy the first team to secure a spot in the last 16 of the European Championship. The performance came five years after Locatelli announced himself to followers of Italian soccer by absolutely smashing a shot past Gianluigi Buffon to give AC Milan a 1-0 win over rival Juventus. Hen then struggled to keep up at Milan but revived his career at Sassuolo and is now shining for Italy.
