Adani: Norway Is Currently Stronger Than Italy; We Cannot Maintain Focus and Diligence Throughout the Entire Match

In the final round of the UEFA World Cup Qualifier, Italy lost 1-4 to Norway at home. Marco Adani commented on the match during a program.

Adani first said: "Tactics alone are not enough to play good football. We lack physical strength, mentality, team spirit and self-awareness. Norway failed to qualify for the Euro Cup a year ago, but now they are ahead of us. We must admit that we made mistakes. We have 23 fewer goal differences and 6 fewer points than the opponents, and the total score in the two direct confrontations is 1-7. If I don't admit that Norway is currently stronger than Italy, then I am lying."

Adani added: "Norway's defenders know that if they don't turn defense into an overall line of defense and maintain 100 minutes of concentration, they cannot perform well or raise their defense to a reliable level. Norway is a humble team, and with the joint efforts of the defensive line and the help of players in other positions, their defense has become reliable."

Adani also stated: "In Italy, each player can do a lot individually, but when they are put together, the team cannot provide the necessary guarantee. We will lose to strong teams and also face risks when facing weak teams. My only real worry is that I have never seen the national team stay focused and diligent throughout the entire match. Some Italian players have participated in the Champions League final and won the league championship, but we still make many mistakes in this level of competition, and Italy has thus become vulnerable."
