Gianmarco Pozzecco outlined his options, which translated to 12 players in his first official match as coach of the Italian national team. It will immediately be an important match, with the Netherlands (tomorrow, at 19:30) in the last match of the first stage of the 2023 World Cup qualifiers (Group H).

These are Eve Pozzecco’s words: “Needless to say the importance of the match against Holland. Our opponents are used to playing together and this is an advantage for them. We’ll have to try to run and control the rebounds in defense. These days, in World Cup qualifiers, we’ve seen surprising results, and noble teams have had a hard time taking on seemingly less valuable opponents on paper. Attention should also be greater because it will be the first new technical session against the Netherlands. In these two weeks we have included concepts that we will start developing tomorrow but which will find continuity and fluidity through the summer until the European Championship. However, I am very happy with the way the boys have trained so far“.
