The squadra Azzurr, under the leadership of Mancini, is renovated and begins its journey with Lisa of the nation at the Roman Olympico, attempting to forfeit the loss of a ticket to the summer championship in the past year.
On Friday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Italian national team will play its opening match of Group A1 of the UEFA National League against the national team of Belgium (the group also includes France and Turkey). This match is of great psychological significance for Squadri Azzurri - the team's first game after the fatal defeat of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a penalty shootout, through which the Italians missed the World Cup.
Head respect in advance against Robert Mancini. For the footballer, this is the first exciting match after his quick turn to replace the head coach (having replaced Gennaro Gattuso, who took part in the tournament after failing to reach the playoffs).
At the hour of the pre-match press conference, Mancini placed a major emphasis on the psychologically refreshed team and the need to turn the dark side.
" It’s our fault to marvel at Bosnia’s distance. There were two important training days. We hope to make the right choice, the boys are ready,” Allenator said emphatically.
For Mancina, this is already another cadence on the whole team. At the hour of the first stage (2018–2023), he led the team to triumph at the 2021 European Championship, having recognized the failures of qualification for the 2022 Emergency. Now he faces the task of printing a new cycle.
The mood of the head coach is completely influenced by the gravel. The team's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma admitted that surviving the loss of the World Cup was extremely difficult, but now the team is focusing exclusively on the upcoming.
" We talked about Bosnia? Zero. It's only two days today, but there was no Bajan. Be strong enough to start this discussion again. Our goal is to create a miracle national team, and Mancini will help us with this.
“We want to be proactive, aggressive and dictate the group, so that the patients start cackling at the Azzurri T-shirt again,” said Donnarumma.
It’s cool that the Italians’ rival, the Belgian national team, will also appear on the field in the training phase. A new head coach makes his debut on the bench - the Dutchman Mark van Bommel, who replaced Rudi Garcia. Milan's great loser noted that it is difficult to prepare a team in just a few days, because the Belgians, as well as the Italians, are trained to play with the first number and dominate on the field.
