Italy have picked up draws against Bulgaria and Switzerland in the World Cup qualifiers, but Giampiero Ventura ensures the Azzurri will have ‘no problem’ in qualifying for Qatar 2022.
Ventura is infamously known for missing out on a 2018 World Cup qualification with the Azzurri.
Roberto Mancini’s side are now the Group C leaders with 11 points in five games. However, Switzerland follow the Azzurri with seven points and two games in hand.
“It was predictable to see the team struggling after the summer break, but I am sure this side will have no problems in qualifying for the World Cup,” Ventura told Adnkronos.
“We must win every game to be sure about qualifying and this team can surely make it,” the coach continued.
“After winning the Euros, this team has reached maturity and a considerable international worth. It will be a different story when we play the next games in autumn.”
The Azzurri picked up back to back draws against Bulgaria and Switzerland and face last-placed Lithuania on Wednesday.
Well no shit, Sherlock.
This guy should be banned from talking about the NT. Every time he does, unpleasant memories come to surface.
Hopefully, he is correct. Qualification cannot be taken for granted.
We shall see how the Azzurri are able to mangae the 3 remaining qualifiers.
Coming from him that doesn’t make me feel better
What the heck are we doing interviewing & getting his opinions
As if not already feeling down due to the points lost in the last 2 qualifying matches was enough had to come across this❓❓❗❗😲 😠 😤
why bring this skeleton out of the closet…are they seriously trying to jinx the azzurri ?
Is he saying this to redeem himself or what
This guy hasn’t been hanged in a Milan square yet?
nobody is talking about Switzerland like everybody is sure they gonna win all their games too
All this for the clicks. Shame on reporters.
The Tick speaks. Sucked La Nazionale dry, took his pound of flesh and left her for dead. Ventura’s name should be treated like Voldemort.
I wish I was as confident as he is.
I don’t think his opinion matters. There is no need to bring him back to the spotlight. Very limited, unimaginative, complacent manager who will go down as the worst manager of the Italian national team. He failed Italy miserably. Should not have been considered for the post. Correctly, then man who appointed him has also fallen by the sword.
