The great head coach of the Italian national team, Roberto Mancini, spoke about the difficult period that Italian football is going through. The Italians missed the last three world championships, although they won this tournament more than once.
“Football [in Italy] is going through important times right now, and so are the people who make us happy, and football is making great money..
However, I respect that sport in Italy has always played an important role - in all disciplines and on any level. Since childhood, I have practiced all kinds of sports: volleyball, basketball, athletics, tennis.
There are times when other teams are stronger and overcome, but Italy has achieved great success in the past. I don’t understand, we are destined to gradually become equal [to other species],” Mancini said in an interview with Radio Rai.
Guess what, Donnarumma and Lukaku ruled the super-rechka after the defeat of Italy by Belgium.
