Italian football manager Roberto Mancini confirmed that he seeks to crown the World Cup title to be hosted in Qatar, adding that it is necessary for the Azzurri to win the next two matches in the European qualifying round for the World Cup.
Italy will host North Macedonia in the semi-finals of the European qualifying round for the World Cup in Qatar at the Stadio Barbera in Palermo on Thursday, March 24. The potential Final will be played away against Turkey or Portugal on March 29.
However coach Roberto Mancini says he is looking past the playoffs and at Qatar, where the tournament kicks off in November."Our goal is to win the World Cup, and to win the World Cup we have to win these two matches. There's nothing else to say," Mancini told reporters on Monday. 
“We only have a few training sessions. There isn’t much time to try new things. The basis is made by players who were part of the team at Euro 2020, except Bernardeschi, who is not fully fit. I couldn’t call 40 players. We have called strikers with different characteristics for these games.” Roberto Mancini  added.
