“At the World Cup, we’m going to go, I’m sure of thatAfter a fresh draw (1-1) against Switzerland in Rome on Friday (1-0) and a penalty (0-0) after the first quarter, Roberto Mancini, with a smile on his face, refused to give in to anxiety. The last-minute and cascading packages, the first in 60 years since the arrival of May 2018, the remnants of Russia’s World Cup qualifiers, the coach is firmly on his “rise”. This week I remember that the difficulty of a trip to Northern Ireland, despite being highlighted in the newspapers, was in Belfast in 1958, when Italy lost the decisive playoff match (2-1) and lost the World Cup.

If they can’t decide, the Italians and Swiss, who have secured the top two spots in the group, will therefore compete from a distance for the first place – the only person offering direct tickets to Qatar. La Nacional currently have a goal difference (+11 vs. +9), but Northern Ireland have the toughest part of the paper, while Switzerland will host Bulgaria (both matches at 8:45 pm).

“Two goals scored”

If both are won, the scope of the scores will vary (possibly if the goal difference equals the total number of goals scored). “We start with a two-goal lead, which is nothing. Then we will have to score goals that we did not score in Northern Ireland“Against Switzerland, Mancini agrees, he expects too”Special competition“Bulgaria took the European champions (1-1) point in September and did the same in Italy.

But Swiss coach Murat Yakin is not expecting anything less from the Northern Irish (0-0) who thrashed Nati.We will give our best and we hope Northern Ireland will do the same. Achieving these two goals late is difficult but doable“, He started on Friday.

Before thinking about scoring goals, injured Italy, in the absence of top scorer Zero Immobile in action, should have already thought about victory, which has not done much since the Euros: only two wins, three draws and a defeat against Spain (1-2) in the League of Nations, a record unbeaten streak (37 matches) in October ) Is over.

Gorgino, bad patch

Less “magical” than Euro time, it is more difficult to create movement and opportunities. Difficulties through a poor pass from his strategist Giorgino were not crucial in the game, especially as he missed two penalties against Switzerland (one in the first quarter, the other in the return, in the 90th minute). Chelsea midfielder cited after Euro as potential candidate for Golden BallContinues to be a basic player“Mancini promises not to give him the next possible penalty.

Mancini, who needs the most goals, is not the only one concerned with Jorge. As Andrea Bellotti is in the recovery phase, far from forgetting the immobile on Friday, Italy still does not have a top scorer. Federico Cheese and Lorenzo Insane had only one chance, and could not see the slightest momentum until Domenico Berardi’s entry.

With no goals and no win on Monday, there will be more dams waiting for the Nazis in March. There are also many big clients among potential rivals like Poland, Croatia, Serbia or Sweden who lost her last World Cup in November 2017.
