R. Mancini: Opponents were not of the highest skill © AP

Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini was satisfied with the performance of his players in the World Cup qualifier match against the Lithuanian team. The reigning European champions found additional reserves and crushed the opponents 5-0. After the match, the specialist said: "Despite numerous losses in recent days, my players reacted well to the situation. Of course, the opponents were not of the highest skill level, but you can't always score five or six goals, so I evaluate the performance positively," said the Italian. He also praised the emerging young talents Giacomo Raspadori and Moise Kean. "We already took Raspadori to the European Championship and were able to assess his relevant skills, of course, the player still needs to gain experience. Both footballers will have chances in the future, it all depends on themselves."
