Head coach of the Italian national team Roberto Mancini commented on his team’s defeat in the National League match against Belgium (0:2).
" Insanely, there were a few signs of thoughts about the past, a little - those who played against a strong opponent, who caused us problems in the first half.
We couldn’t play compactly, they gave us plenty of space, so in the first half the stinks looked more beautiful. In the second half, which lasted 25 minutes, the team acted effectively well: we played a short distance, picked up other balls that were not able to be taken from the first half, and reduced our profits.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to realize our chances. In my opinion, we started making peace in the hour of another missed goal, depriving us of a lot of open space, and that’s where it all ended.
It’s our responsibility to reverse the mistakes that were made in the first half, and take positive moments from the other, even if they stink. The deeds of the graves performed well, and we can also look forward to the positive aspects of the next period.
What you can do to change the group? Look at the quiet 25 minutes of the other half, when we played even more aggressively, picked up all the other balls and allowed absolutely nothing to happen to Belgium. This is a positive moment. We need to try to waste the ball less during the first half, keep it calm more and not force the situation if there is no free space.
You can see that this little team is squeezed psychologically and has not yet emerged from disappointment after missing the third post-emergency situation? Insanely, here we are, let us let it go. Since we always think about what happened in the past, we cannot crumble further. It is necessary to think about the future, about those that we can definitely paint.
We have to think positively and not go back to what has already happened.. We still can’t change anything from the past.
Reaction of patients? It’s completely normal: if you lose, the patients are embarrassed and disconnected. Tse partina gri. . We were able to perform better in the first half, but there were good moments in the other half, so it’s not all so negative,” quote Mancini Football-Italia.
