Germany-Italy 5-2. Donnarumma, squabble on TV. Mancini: “It does not frustrate anything”

A heavy 5-2 that arrived against Germany, but Roberto Mancini tries to go further: “It’s a shame to finish like this, they are strong and we knew it, we conceded too much in the first half, but we also showed good things, despite the result. And let’s not forget that the Nations League group is still open. ” When they talk to him about setbacks, the coach shakes his head: “Let’s call them mistakes, there have been mistakes. We didn’t defend well as a team, then it’s clear that if you want to recover you expose yourself to the counterattack and with players like these risks.” Italy is experimenting, so it is inevitable that certain mechanisms are not very oiled: “It’s true, in matches like these, this kind of difficulty also emerges. This time too many young players played and did well, there was also the goal of Gnonto and on some occasions we have been unlucky. Today’s result does not nullify anything, we are making a path that will include good and less good things. We have two games in September, let’s see “

Donnarumma with tense nerves

Captain Gigio Donnarumma is decidedly more gloomy: “We are angry, there are no excuses, now let’s go to the locker room, look at each other and leave again to prove that we are not these. Tonight we missed everything, maybe there was even a little tired after five games in 20 days at the end of the season, but we don’t want an excuse. We’re so sorry for the fans, for what they saw. It’s not good, we’ll analyze everything and start again. ” Donnarumma himself committed an ingenuity that cost Italy a heavier liability: “We all made mistakes, there are no culprits. I too could have assessed certain situations better, but after mistakes you grow. Then if you say that it is my fault, do it – he said bickering on Rai microphones -, I take my responsibilities and go ahead with my head held high “.
