The Italian national team arrives in Lithuania in a good mood. One of the most popular national teams on the planet has long forgotten the taste of defeat - with Roberto Mancini at the helm, they boast an incredible statistic. The 56-year-old Italian has not experienced a single failure in 24 matches and aims to improve the all-time country record. A memorable achievement belongs to Vittorio Pozzo, who in the 1930s managed to avoid defeat in 30 matches. Furthermore, after the match in Vilnius, R. Mancini can be compared to the legendary Marcello Lippi. The veteran who fantastically led the team from 2004 to 2006 did not lose a single game in 25 matches, and ultimately, his Italy national team became the world champion. The secret of success of the team coached by R. Mancini is a solid defense. In 24 matches, the Italians kept a clean sheet 17 times, and in the last 14 matches, they conceded only 3 goals.
