Florence –
Italy only drew 1-1 against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the opening match of the UEFA Nations League. Gli Azzurri’s coach Roberto Mancini explained the reasons why his team failed to win.
At the Artemio Franchi on Saturday morning (9/5) of the WIB, Italy had conceded first with Edin Dzeko’s goal in the 57th minute. But Stefano Sensi managed to equalize ten minutes later, ensuring Italy scored a point.
Italy appeared to be less attractive in their first international match in 10 months. Whoscored recorded 20 shots taken by Lorenzo Insigne et al, but only five jeopardized the Bosnian goal and one resulted in a goal.
After the match, Mancini admitted that his team lost their punching power in front of the opponent’s goal. The fatigue factor was also mentioned by Allenatore, 55, especially before players had to go through an unusual seasonal period due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We tried to push until the end and we had several chances, but there was some fatigue before the game. Obviously, we were disappointed that we couldn’t win today but we weren’t ready,” Mancini told RAI Sport.
“The situation is the same as against them in Turin (June 2019, Italy beat Bosnia 2-1 in qualifying for Euro 2020). The Bosnians play waiting behind and rely on counterattacks. If we were a little more keen on the goal, the situation would be different. “
This draw ended Italy’s winning streak in 11 consecutive matches. Mancini himself is not overly concerned about not continuing this positive trend. According to him, the important thing is that his team does not suffer defeat.
“The winning streak will end sooner or later, but at least we are happy that the trend ends in a draw, not a loss. We will keep the base of the existing team, but some names will be changed (in the game against the Netherlands) because it is of course they can’t play. once every three days, “he said.
