he head coach of the Italian national team Roberto Mancini commented on his team's defeat in the opening match of the Euro 2024 qualifier against England (1-2).
"We knew that the game would be difficult, but we conceded two goals after the set pieces. We had to be more careful. England is a big threat from set pieces, but we shouldn't have conceded those two goals. In the second half we dominated and probably deserved a draw. We are disappointed with the result, but there is still a long way to go," Mancini was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
