Head coach of the German national team Joachim Lev commented on the next year's failure of the Italian team at the World Cup.

In the second leg of the match versus the Swedes, Italy could not score (0: 0), remaining out of the World Cup 2018.

"They say De Rossi refused to go on as a substitute, because Italy needed an attacker. This is a strong act. It is a pity that they did not go to the World Cup. I would be happy if they participated in the tournament, "- quotes Leva Goal. com.

Earlier, the head coach of Italy Giampiero Ventura said that he did not resign.

Goalkeeper Porto Iker Casillas expressed support for his friend - goalkeeper Juventus Gianluigi Buffon, after the defeat of the Italian team.
