The Italian national team goalkeeper commented on the team's performance ahead of friendly matches.

For the Italian national team, through the removal of qualification for the 2024 European Championship, the international break will be accompanied by only friendly matches.

In advance of this battle, Squadri Azzurri goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke about the mood of the team.

“We must prepare seriously for the Euro, that’s why all games are important. Regardless of the system that we will be victorious in, and that the coach will follow, we will be ready. If necessary, we can play with three central defenders, if not, then we will simply play with four defenders.

Having a ball at your feet is fundamental to modern football. We are preparing for each match with proper order, so that we have a tactical balance and more chances to inflict pain on our opponents.

We are playing against two strong American teams, so we need to prepare well and stand up to them with the utmost dignity.

As long as we play friendly matches with the right mentality, we will be in the best shape for future matches.

20 million Italians in America support us. We would like to applaud them for their niceness, and write to them for the excitement and humor of them.. We suspect that at these friendly matches there will be a lot of Italians cheering for us,” said the Italian Vikonite.

The Italian team will play friendly matches against Venezuela (21 February, 23:00) and Ecuador (24 February, 22:00).
