Preview for Italy V Estonia
There is little margin of error for Italy when they receive Estonia in Bergamo tomorrow night.
The Azzurri are already in danger of getting lost in the World Cup finals for the third successive time after a slow start to qualify in Group I.
An opening day that hammered from Norway in Oslo put them on the back and also saw the exit of coach Luciano Spalletti, although strangely stayed for the 2-0 defeat of Moldova in the same international rest.
Gennaro Gattuso was the surprising choice to replace him after Claudio Ranieri rejected the role.
It enters with Italy nine points to the drift of Norway, which has a record of 100 percent after four games. Italy has two games in their hand and will know that they have to win both in the next few days, against Estonia and Israel, a match played in the Hungarian city of Debrecen, on Monday.
“I want to see a sense of belonging, the will to make sacrifices and also the acceptance that teammates tell them the truths.
“We have to be strong. We cannot panic if the score is still 0-0 after 10 minutes,” he added. “We need to be a team, to fight the coup … History shows that character has never lacked us, and we have to bring it back.”
If Italy cannot review Norway, then second place and a place in the playoffs will be the goal.
Estonia realistically has no possibility of qualification. However, they hope to end over Moldova, who beat 3-2 in March.
