BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “I’ve been fine since the game ended with Norway I want to go back to play with Italy, it’s the most important week of the year. I came a week before Coverciano, I really want to play.” This was stated by the Italian national striker Mateo Retegui at the press conference, on the eve of the match against Northern Ireland, a race valid for the semi-final of the playoffs for the World Cup 2026.
“To return to Bergamo is always beautiful, for me it is special, I have lived beautiful moments last year, this stage gives me more. Having players like Esposito gives us so much, it makes you push more, we are not competing, we must continue like this. Italy has made me fall in love with the National Team, since the first time I came with Mancini. For me it is the most important thing that has happened to me in my life, representing the blue mesh is everything”.
“I think the team is quiet, we talked about tranquility and lightness, we know that there is only one result, winning, we have to do things as we are doing, the team has demonstrated something more since the mister arrived, we must fight and not think about anything else. We have a team of great quality and experience, we have to be quiet and peaceful, now that the time has come to play we have to stay at 200%. The key words are tranquility and lightness, tomorrow we must be protagonists, there is no other result”, he concluded.
