Italian National Team wins the Euro 2020, Roberto Mancini feels a negative effect

By db-admin

DBasia.news – The success of winning the 2020 European Cup does not always have a positive impact on the Italian national team. Roberto Mancini as a coach began to feel the bad effects of his status as the king of Europe.

Italy won Euro 2020 with an impressive performance. Leonardo Bonucci has been unbeaten since the group stage.

Mancini’s team even broke the unbeaten record in Italian history with a total of 34 matches. Italy’s last defeat occurred in 2018.

However, after winning the European Cup 2020 title, Italy’s performance actually decreased. Gli Azzurri were only able to draw 1-1 when they hosted Bulgaria in the continuation of the 2020 World Cup qualifiers, Friday (3/9).

Even though Italy went down with the majority of players who dropped out of the 2020 European Cup. They also dominated the game.

This made Mancini worried. He warned his team to stay grounded.

“You can’t be trapped by memories in football. July 11 was a beautiful night, but we can’t keep thinking about it now,” said Mancini ahead of the match against Switzerland.

“Everyone will be remembered for that, but the future is different and we have to fight to win again.”

Italy will travel to Switzerland’s headquarters in the continuation of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Monday (6/9) am, WIB. This is a repeat of the Euro 2020 group stage match.

At that time Italy was able to defeat Switzerland with a landslide score of 3-0. However, similar results will be challenging to repeat if Federico Chiesa and his team mates do not improve their appearance.
