BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “It’s the most important game of my career, I play a lot. I’m young and I have a country on my back. For seven months, every day I feel like “mister take us to the World Championship”. The pressure is there but it is a pressure that I have been accustomed to for many years.” He told Sky Sport the blue Rino Gattuso, on the eve of the semi-final play-off for the World Championships against Northern Ireland in Bergamo.
“There is a good mood within the team, they were three beautiful days, there is a great atmosphere. Tomorrow we have an important game, we know what we play and it is right to get loaded and feel some responsibility and tension. They need heads and legs, they do very few things but they believe a lot in what they do – he continues – You have to be good, strong mentally, know how to suffer, and then, when we have the ball, succeed in playing in speed and bring the players in the last 16-20 meters and put them in trouble.” On the possibility of using Sticks you do not unbalance (“we see”) but of something Gattuso can be satisfied, that is “the desire of these boys to make themselves available and be able to tighten their teeth”.
RETEGUI “È LA SETTIMANA PIÙ IMPORTANTE DELL’ANNO”
“I’ve had a great time since the game ended with Norway, I want to go back to Italy, it’s the most important week of the year. I came a week before Coverciano, I really want to play. Going back 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”. This was stated by the Italian national striker Mateo Retegui at the press conference.
“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 have to fight and not think about anything else – analyzes -. 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.”.
