Italian coach Gennaro Gattuso also gave his opinion on the draw.
– We have to focus on the first game first. Northern Ireland are a team we can deal with. They play their style, very strong, and fight for other balls. Physically they are very strong and we will have to play a great game. But we can cope – said Gattuso.
Of course, he was also asked about the potential final…
– We know Wales and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the stadium in Cardiff is difficult for everyone, but now let’s focus on the semi-finals – Gattuso said, adding that he has to find an appointment to spend a few days with the players before the games.
It is interesting that Italy, just like Bosnia and Herzegovina, missed the last two World Cups. If they find themselves in the final for one of the selections, it will be the third (un)luck in a row.
