It will be very interesting to evaluate the match, how we can perform against a huge crowd of Italian fans and against the current European champions." Italy's head coach Roberto Mancini: "It would be wonderful to win the Nations League immediately after the European Championship, and it would be wonderful to qualify for the World Cup earlier, but it won't be easy. These will be good matches. we didn't have enough time to understand their game. Everything will be different right away." Comments from World champions coach Didier Deschamps: "This will not erase the past. The European Championship is already in the past, if someone still wants to live with that failure. This is an opportunity to win the title, we have a semi-final to play against one of the best teams in the world - Belgium." Roberto Martinez's comment: "This time you can fight for titles and, although being a team that is consistently number one in the world will be considered an achievement when these guys finish their careers, we want both things, honestly. There are certain goals when traveling this road, but nothing means as much as the title." One of these national teams will lift the UEFA Nations League trophies on October 10 and also secure a ticket to the FIFA World Cup tournament, which will take place in Qatar in 2022.
