The head coach of the Italian national team, Gennaro Gattuso, shared his impressions of the 5-4 victory over Israel.
Idman.biz reports that the winning goal was scored by Sandro Tonali in the 90+1 minute of the match. Alessandro Bastoni and Manuel Locatelli scored own goals.
"It was terrible today. They surprised us a bit at the beginning, but every time we went forward we created problems for them. We weren't at our best today and that's understandable, it's always like that when you play the second game. We won, which was extremely important. We're angry because we conceded ridiculous goals.
We are very fragile, we concede goals very easily. But this is not a criticism of the players, it is my problem and I have to improve it with my staff. We must give credit to the boys who have the strength to react to every slap in the face. Even if it wasn't our best day, they put their hearts and souls into rehabilitation today. We must continue to work on it. Let's enjoy this, it's been an incredible eight days. I congratulate the kids, I'm going to thank them now, but if we want to achieve something important, we need to improve," - La Gazzetta dello Sport quotes Gattuso.
