Italy defender Federico Dimarco commented on the victory over North Macedonia (5:2) in qualifying for Euro 2024, and also spoke about the mandatory need for his team to reach the final part of the tournament (for this Italians, remember, it is enough not to lose in tomorrow's match against Ukraine).
Federico Dimarco"I think that to go to the European Championship is almost an obligation for the Italian national team. Our fans are justified in demanding that we achieve such a goal. I hope that with our game against North Macedonia (5:2 - ed.) we showed that we are ready to solve the task in front of us. I think we played a great match, created a lot of chances, were active and fulfilled the coach's instructions.
Two conceded goals? During the matches we have both good and bad periods. In the game against North Macedonia we stopped playing for seven minutes. And we immediately paid for it. But we reacted well, got back into the game and scored two more goals. Many teams, after conceding two goals after 3-0, would sit on their own goal and play to keep the score. But this story is not about us, and we proved it.
The match with Ukraine? In football, all international matches have long been difficult. And the Ukraine national team is a strong team, so we will need to be careful at any moment of the match," Italian media quoted Dimarco as saying.
