With 6 points less than 16 goals, Italy is going to play in the playoffs again, missing the World Cup for three consecutive times?

"Gattuso started well, got key points in two wins, and the players gained passion and confidence. What is needed next is stability. The road to the World Cup is long and full of challenges. I believe in him." - After Zanbrotta's

, it was not easy to catch up with points in the third round of the European qualifiers. Italy lost 0-3 away to Norway, which made the Blues fall into the abyss. Although they have defeated Moldova, Estonia and Israel in the last three games, as their main competitor Norway is also in excellent form, Italy is currently 6 points behind the Pirates and has 16 fewer goals. Even if they complete revenge at home, it is difficult to fill the big pit of goal difference. It is already very difficult to get a place to qualify directly. The road to the playoffs is full of dangers. Italy "needs 11 Gattuso"

Since its defeat in South Africa (2010), Italy has missed two consecutive World Cups (2014, 2018). Despite its outstanding performance in the European Cup (2020 European Cup champion), the reputation of the Blues has dropped to the bottom of history due to its poor record in the World Cup qualifiers. Ventura, Spaletti and others were overused, and Gattuso, who represented the iron-blooded spirit, carried the hope of 60 million Italians.

From Italy's recent performance, it can be seen that Gattuso has brought this team a long-lost fighting spirit, activated forward players such as Retge and Raspadori, and achieved good results. The quality of the stars of the Blues may not be as good as England, France and Spain, but they have good players on all three lines, so it should be no problem to get World Cup tickets. Next, they will fight for every game with all their strength, and fighting like "11 Gattuso" is their only way.
