Italy, Di Canio: "Italy have the talent but..."
" Can Italy still progress? If they reproduce that agressivity that Sweden produced in the first game, then yes they could. It should never be one versus one situation, Italy has to attack and defend as a team. Italy have the quality to score a goal against them. If they do so early on then it's a whole new tie. The Italian national team has a lot more talent compared to the Swedish side but they suffered a lot during the first game. They have to do much better as the pressure will be on. In 100 years of Italian football, it only happened twice that the National team did not make it to the World cup. This would be a disaster...".
Fiorentina Giancarlo Antognoni added in an interview with the press (in which our Giacomo Brunetti was present): " Italy were missing a goal. It is never easy to play these types of games on the road. Sweden had a bit of luck on their side as they scored a deflected goal. I still think Italy can progress. Percentages? I would say 50-50 at this moment in time...".
