Women's football: Italy in Romania, coach 'reacting to knockout with Switzerland'

Starting again, so as not to let Switzerland escape in the standings and at the same time to extend to the third place in the standings: tomorrow the women's national team will face Romania in Voluntari, just outside the capital Bucharest, in a race that will serve to stay in the race for the first place and to simultaneously secure the second position in the group, which will still be worth the right to participate in the qualifying play-offs for the 2023 World Cup.

    "We are three teams to play for the first two places - underlined the coach, Milena Bertolini, speaking to RaiSport -: after the defeat on Friday, we will have to be good at reacting, facing Romania with great enthusiasm and desire for redemption. there is so much bitterness for the knockout suffered against Switzerland, for that fearful approach to the challenge that conditioned the whole match; however, there is also the awareness that when we are able to put into practice what we know how to do, regardless of the interpreters, it becomes difficult for every opponent to face each other. We have to start again from the game, from our identity: the results will be a consequence ".

    The National team carried out the finishing touches in Coverciano and in the afternoon left for Bucharest: tomorrow the match (at 5.30 pm, live on Rai2) to cancel the first defeat for the Azzurre of this 2021.
