Italian football players discussed the World Cup bonus
An unexpected situation arose for the Italy national football team. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to sources, the team players discussed the issue of an additional bonus before the decisive match for the 2026 World Cup qualification. This information was provided by La Repubblica, citing a Football Italia source.
It turned out that before the playoff final against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the players tried to agree with the federation on a bonus of approximately 300 thousand euros. They saw this reward as an incentive for qualifying for the World Cup.
However, the head coach of the team, Gennaro Gattuso, expressed his opinion on the matter, emphasizing that discussing financial issues before the game was inappropriate. In his view, the focus should only be on the game on the field.
For this reason, the coach urged the players not to be distracted by this topic and to discuss all matters after the game. But events did not unfold as expected.
In the decisive match, the Italy team showed strong competition against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The regular time ended with a score of 1:1, and the winner was determined in a penalty shootout.
Unfortunately, it was at this moment that the Italian players experienced bad luck. Losing the penalty shootout 1:4, the "Azzurri" were deprived of the 2026 World Cup qualification.
This result was a major blow not only for the fans but also for the entire football community. Many emphasize that the pre-match bonus issue may have negatively affected the team's morale.
In conclusion, this event was an important lesson for Italian football: before big games, attention must be focused not on money but on the result. Now the team faces a new task – rebuilding and returning stronger for the future.
