In the seventh round of the 2018 World Cup qualifier, the Azzurra Squadron & quot; suffered a crushing defeat from the "Furies of the Rochi", but the coach of the Italian team Giampiero Ventura is not going to give up.

"In a duel against Italy, the difference in physical training and individual skill was seen," Ventura said.. - And judging by the way we acted before the break, the tactics were chosen correctly. However, I was already used to constant criticism. If I do not put Insigne - I am accused of not putting it. If I put - criticize that I put it, and he played below his capabilities. I reconciled myself to the fact that in any case I became the object of criticism, so I stopped paying attention to it. One defeat after so many successful matches - this is not an excuse to drop your hands, throw everything and stop working ".

In the last five games before the defeat from Spain, the "scuadra Adzurra" scored five wins with a total score of 20: 1. The next qualifying match World Cup 2018, the Italian team will hold on September 5 against Israel.
