Head coach of the Italian national team Gennaro Gattuso died after a devastating defeat to Norway (1:4). Yogo words induce RAI.

" In the first half we were the right team. We are licking our wounds, we are losing our opponent, we absolutely need to recover from the first half we spent. We showed ourselves and made important speeches, but in other times it was not easy for us.

The other half lost pace, wasted a lot of balls when leaving defense and gave them space. We allowed them to approach our penalty area. We need to play like we did in the first half: we always maintained compactness and took the right positions, so we don’t have to squeeze in after our opponent creates a chance.

40 seconds after the beginning of the second half, the stench of the first blow to the square of the gates was heard, and we were angry,” said Gattuso.

Collected in Italy, the group will compete in the playoffs for the 2026 World Championship.
