After the game: R. Mancini’s surprise for the press in his country

The coach of the Italian team, Roberto Mancini, opened up to the media in his country after the victory against the Lithuanians.

The guests at the LFF stadium triumphed 2-0, but the strategist did not settle for several things.

“Today, the field was in terrible condition and the opponents were more used to the artificial surface.

If we had realized all the scoring possibilities, it would have been an easier match.

I remember that Italy, trained by Lithuania and Arrigo Sacchi, managed to win only 1: 0.

If you lose your opponents’ fortifications early, more opportunities can open up, but even when the Lithuanians were 0: 1 behind, they were still at their gates and actively defending, ”R. Mancini was surprised.

“We played three games a week that were really challenging, especially for travel.

We also realized that there are no easy games and in each one of them you have to give 100 percent of your strength ”, explained a specialist from RAI Sport.
