Buongiorno: World Cup play-offs will definitely be difficult, but we think about the game against Norway first

In the European World Cup qualifiers held early this morning, Italy defeated Moldova 2-0 away from home. After the game, Italian defender Buongiorno was interviewed by Rai.

You didn't score until the last moment of the game to win

We created a lot of opportunities and had many shots. The goal didn't come until the last moment of the game, but we are satisfied with the performance of this game. We didn't give up and finally won.

Why have you made such a big change?

We always train with the coach, who has great confidence in every player. The opponent's defense sat deep and we kept attacking from the beginning, and finally we scored.

Is it a pity that Italy failed to qualify directly for the World Cup?

Of course, it’s a pity. But now we have to think about the way forward, first against Norway and then against the opponents we will face in the play-offs.

What are your expectations for the World Cup qualifying play-offs next March?

It will definitely be a very difficult game, and we need to do our best to deal with it. But first the next game against Norway, let’s think about that one first.

Coach Gattuso complained after the game that the fans should not insult the national team

On the court, we must focus on the game, try our best, and do as the coach asks.
