Gianluca Zambrotta: It s strange that Italy missed two World Cups in a row but we still won the European Cup

In an interview with NRK, Italian star Zambrotta talked about Italy's game against Norway.

He said: "Indeed, it is a pity that Italy has missed two World Cups in a row. It is really a pity. It is strange to see a team like Italy, with its glorious history and international success, failing to participate in such an important event."

Although Italian football is currently in a very delicate moment, Zambrotta believes that Italian football still has Highlights, especially the success of Euro 2021

"We must remember that Italy won Euro 2020, even though the competition was postponed to 2021 due to the new crown epidemic. We cannot forget this. But obviously, too long has passed since Italy last participated in the World Cup."

So, what kind of opponent is Norway?

"From the data point of view, it is obviously the offense that determines their performance. This is a team that creates a lot of opportunities and can convert opportunities into goals. Thanks to their forwards, Haaland is the most important reference point. This is a young, dynamic, offensive team, and the defense is also very solid. They are not easy to concede the ball, which is very important. This is a team that I like very much, and they have played very well in recent years."
