Italy head coach Roberto Mancini commented on his side’s 3-1 Nations League victory over France. He said he was pleased with the players’ performance and the result.
“It was a great game. The players were fantastic, and I am very happy for them. This victory was important for the fans who came to the match,” Mancini said.
The coach said the missed penalty was a mistake. Such things happen, he said, but the team remained calm and continued playing its own game. Mancini described that as the key point.
He stressed that the victory had its limits in terms of significance and said they would have to win in Belgium in the next stage. Mancini said there was a long way to go and the team would reach its goal gradually. The coach said he was pleased with what he had seen, adding that despite Italy conceding an early goal, the match could have ended with a bigger win for his team. His comments were published by Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.
