Gattuso begins to save the Italian national team

Coach Gennaro Gattuso begins saving Italy and avoids his absence in the FIFA World Cup Finals for the third time in succession Friday by hosting Estonia in the European continent qualifiers.
Italy is facing the risk of not qualifying for the finals of next year in the United States, Canada and Mexico after a stumbling block in June, which cost Luchano Spalletti to the head of the technical staff of “Azzurri”.
Gattuso was not the first choice as a coach, and has a volatile record of football management at the club level, and he faces a difficult task before his first official match as coach of the national team in Bergamo.
Italy behind nine points behind Norway, leading the ninth group with the full score in four games, after its first two qualifiers, one of which suffered a overwhelming loss at the hands of Earlring Halland and his companions with three clean.
The first place in the group guarantees the direct qualification of the World Cup, and although Italy played two games less than Norway, its chances of finishing the qualifiers in the first place appear to be slim.
In addition to the big difference in points, Italy has a difference of goals worse with 12 goals than Norway, which means that the decisive roles from which it failed to reach the last two versions is the most realistic way to qualify.
“I want to see a sense of belonging, in preparation for sacrifices, and accepting the annoying facts of our teammates,” Gattuso said. We cannot allow fear to infiltrate our minds. ”
Gattuso crowned the world champion with Italy in 2006, the last World Cup in which the “Al -Azuri” rose to the level of his reputation as a very important football country, and this was followed by the Italian team’s exit from the group stage in the following two versions before it failed to qualify for the 2018 and 2022 finals.
To reach the supplement, Italy will need second place, which is currently occupied by Israel, which is leading by three points, but has played a more match.
