On the eve of the League of Nations match against Poland, the defender of Juventus and the Italian national team Leonardo Bonucci shared his opinion about the opponent and his team.

"Italian football is in crisis," Bonucci said at a press conference.. - A year ago, we were at zero level, and since then nothing has changed. Perhaps even worse. I hope that something will change after the election of a new president of the federation.. It is now customary to blame Ventura for all troubles, but personally I am grateful to him, because with him I grew very much as a player. And the fact that the Italian team did not get to the 2018 World Cup, the fault of the players is not less than the coach. I am very pleased that Ventura found a new job where he can express himself, and I wish him good luck ".

"We are waiting for a very difficult and responsible fight against Poland, in which we all really want to win. Nobody even wants to think about defeat, because this will be another failure that can affect all levels of our football.. In the Polish team they play Schesny, Zielinski, Milik, Pyontek, who are in full view in Serie A, and Lewandowski should not be forgotten.

All of them can “make a difference,” and we joked about Schesny a few days ago. But now we have no time for joking. In general, I really love to win, but now we need a victory not for pleasure, and we will get it at any price ".

Match Poland - Italy will be held on Sunday, October 14, in Chorzow.
