Defender Luca Antei can’t believe Italy didn’t win the first leg of their Under-21 European play-off with Slovakia.
They drew 1-1 on Friday and the second leg is at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia tomorrow evening.
“We dominated that game and deserved to win, so now we really want to secure qualification for the European Under-21 Championships,” said the Sassuolo defender.
“Slovakia have quality in attack, are dynamic on the wings and are a very physical side, but we too have quality and are extremely determined.
“We thought that we would be under more pressure in the first leg, but instead we played with character and quality, albeit unable to convert our chances for the victory.
“We made too many mistakes in front of goal and need to be more efficient tomorrow. Slovakia will come here looking to win, but we don’t want to stop and have a big objective to achieve.”
