Roberto Mancini, the selector of the Italian football players, is aware that his guys are not waiting for an easy job to get a visa to go to the World Cup.
Italy will first face the team from Northern Macedonia in the semifinals, followed by a match against the winner of the match between Portugal and Turkey.
We do not take the first game for granted. It won’t be easy. We have two difficult matches ahead of us. We shouldn’t be here. We should work now. We have a solid foundation. We think positively. We have to think that everything will go well. We have to play as we have so far. We did not achieve our goals by chance. “We didn’t want to play these games, but the guys are feeling good and that’s important,” said Mancini.
The selector of the European champions is optimistic about the upcoming matches.
“I am optimistic because I have players who won the Euro when no one believed in it. We have to think about what we have achieved and play with a lot of confidence. Our goal is to win the World Cup, and in order to do that, we have to win the next two games. We want to go to the World Cup to win it.” –Mancini added.
