On the eve of Italy played 0-0 with the Portuguese national team in the League of Nations, dominating the opponent most of the match.

In this match, Immobile missed two excellent points to score and brought his goalless series in the "Squadra Azzurra" to 8 games.

According to the forward, such disappointing personal statistics bother him.

"It was a great team performance, but the lack of goals in the team begins to put pressure on me," said Immobile.

"In spite of everything, I try to look forward. We must accept not only praise, but also criticism.

The team played good football, and, to be honest, I would be more worried if we couldn’t manage to create dangerous moments. If we continue to act in the same spirit, the next time the match will end in victory ".

"In the last few matches, we looked very high and created many scoring opportunities. Now we need to learn how to turn them into scored balls, "said Immobile.

The last time Chiro was different for the Italian team more than a year ago - in September 2017 in the match against Israel.
