Gattuso applauds Italy's turnaround against Israel, expresses concern over brittleness
In a thrilling match played in Hungary, Italy secured a 5-4 win over Israel in a World Cup qualifier, boosting their hopes of qualification for the upcoming tournament.
Gennaro Gattuso, the current manager of the Italian national team, expressed his appreciation for the team's ability to recover from setbacks, as they came from behind twice during the match.
The Italian goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, had an eventful night. Despite fisting the ball into his own net, the goal was disallowed due to a foul on him.
The victory was a team effort, with Moise Kean scoring a double for Italy. Italy's previous match against Estonia ended in a resounding 5-0 victory.
The win against Israel moved Italy to second place in the group, with nine points. They are three points behind Norway, who have also played four matches in the group stage. Israel, on the other hand, is third in the group, level on points with Italy but behind on goal difference.
Gattuso acknowledged the need for improvement in certain areas of the team's play, emphasizing the importance of avoiding easy goals. He replaced Luciano Spalletti as manager, with the current assistant coach's identity not explicitly named in the search results.
The victory gives Italy hope of qualification for the upcoming World Cup, as they have a game in hand over Israel. However, Gattuso expressed concern about the fragility of his team, stressing the need for consistency in their performances.
Italy's last two World Cup appearances were missed, making this qualification campaign even more crucial for the Azzurri. As the qualifiers progress, the Italian national team will look to build on their recent victory and continue their push towards the World Cup.
