A post from the Azzurri coach: “In a few months we have gone from joy to disappointment, but accepting defeats is part of human and sporting growth”
«Let’s take some time to reflect and understand clearly. The only right move now is to raise your head and work towards the future. Thanks to the public in Palermo for the warmth and thanks to all the fans who have always transmitted enthusiasm and affection to us ». After the knockout of North Macedonia, the blue coach Roberto Mancini returned to talk about the elimination of Italy, out of the World Cup for the second consecutive time with a post on his Instagram profile (mrmancini10). «Sometimes football can be a ruthless metaphor for life _ he wrote _. Last summer we were on the top of Europe after having completed one of the most beautiful feats in the history of the national team ».
«A few hours ago we woke up in one of the most dramatic points – adds the Italy coach Mancini – We went from total joy to a frustrating disappointment. It is really hard to accept, but accepting defeats in life is also part of a healthy path of human and sporting growth ».
