ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The club does not care about the national team, otherwise they would send the boys without problems. If Palestra and Pisilli play tomorrow night the shooting and go to the World Cup, their value triples. Italy is the team to which no one has to give up, how can a club not understand it?“. It is the reflection of Silvio Baldini, ct of the Under 21, on the eve of the match against Sweden, valid for qualification to Europeans of category.
“It is essential to make the children understand that the National is of all the fans and that when playing with the blue jersey they are seen by all the Italians and the responsibility is greater,” added Baldini. “I make an example without controversy. At the October meeting I had not had Venturino (at the time at Genoa, ndr) because he had had a physical problem. They didn’t send it to us, then when we played against Sweden, he did a friendly and also scored goals against the Entella. Then the boy called me and explained to me that there were misunderstandings, things that happen.”.
As for the game tomorrow, “we will play a team with a higher level than North Macedonia, so we will have to improve and be even more intense and make even more ball possession forward, giving less chance to the opponents to make the game on us. When you raise the technical and physical level, you have to adapt. The boys behaved well and are confident.”.
Even from the athletic point of view, the condition is good. “The boys were exceptional in recovering as soon as possible, dedicating a couple of hours to gym exercises. Sweden is a team that is very physical. I think they’ll crash with a 4-4-2 in possession and a 4-3-1-2 in non- possession.”
