Milan, 15 September (LaPresse) – "The Azzurri continue to demonstrate great quality in achieving results, just think of the Under-17s and Under-20s, as well as beach soccer. In 2021, we were European champions with the senior team, with two third places in the Nations League. The movement is alive, but we are missing that piece that we have failed to achieve twice, which is the World Cup, partly due to two missed penalties against Switzerland." This is what FIGC president Gabriele Gravina said on Radio Anch'Io Sport on Radio1, regarding the current situation of the national team. ‘In Gattuso's group, I saw a great desire to achieve this very important goal. There are many things to fix, but we have the quality to achieve it,’ he added. On the nightmare of the play-offs, Gravina said: "We have to win all the games between now and 16 November, with consistency, then we'll take stock. We have to take it step by step. If the team, which has shown signs of quality, continues to grow and we get some international-calibre players back, I am convinced that we will achieve our goal."
