Italy national team goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma gave an interview after the match against the Israel team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match ended with a 3-0 victory for Italy. The Italy national team secured their fifth consecutive win, but they still remain in second place in the group, three points behind Norway.
In June, the Italians lost 0-3 in the match against Norway. Following that defeat, coach Luciano Spalletti resigned and was replaced by Gennaro Gattuso.
In his interview with Sky Sport, Donnarumma emphasized that they cannot afford to make mistakes in the current situation, otherwise they risk losing the chance to qualify directly for the World Cup. He said the team is ready for the November matches and the possible play-off games.
Donnarumma expressed confidence that the Italy national team is strong and will participate in the 2026 World Cup. In November, the Italy national team will play against Moldova away on November 13 and against Norway at home on November 16.
These matches are crucial battles for the team to secure qualification for the World Cup.
