Lorenzo Pellegrini insists Italy’s European Under-21 Championship fate “is still in our hands” ahead of the showdown with Germany.
The Azzurrini know even a victory over Germany might not be enough after their shock 3-1 defeat to the Czech Republic.
“We still have a chance of getting through to the semi-finals and we know our fate is still in our hands, because a 3-1 win would mean we’re sure of qualification,” said the Sassuolo midfielder.
Lorenzo Pellegrini insists Italy’s European Under-21 Championship fate “is still in our hands” ahead of the showdown with Germany.
The Azzurrini know even a victory over Germany might not be enough after their shock 3-1 defeat to the Czech Republic.
“We still have a chance of getting through to the semi-finals and we know our fate is still in our hands, because a 3-1 win would mean we’re sure of qualification,” said the Sassuolo midfielder.
“As far as we are concerned, we all have this incredible desire to go forward in this tournament.
“It’s true we have made some mistakes, but we also created at least seven or eight scoring opportunities against the Czechs, while they scored three from three shots on goal.
“We should’ve been more clinical and determined, so with Germany we’ll try to learn from those errors, especially as it’s our last chance to progress.”
