Orsolini: It was shocking to learn that the coach was dismissed 48 hours before the game, and this was a failure of the whole team

In the European qualifiers of the World Cup, Italy defeated Moldova 2-0 at home. Italian player Orsolini was interviewed after the game.

You came on the bench in the second half and broke through on the right to instigate the team's second goal

I appeared to bring more offensive opportunities to the team, because we did not put pressure on our opponents in this regard in the first half, and we need to speed up the pace of the game. We did this most of the time, but we took some risks at the end of the game. We need to improve on this because such mistakes are punished when facing stronger opponents.

Italy failed to win a big score

After losing the last game, it is important to win this game. The coach’s sack made the team more unstable, and we wanted to say goodbye to him with a victory and rekindle hope. It's a pity that we didn't win with a bigger score, because that was our goal.

How are you doing these days?

This is strange, it will shock you if you suddenly happen 48 hours before an important game (coach Spalletti is dismissed). But we are professional players and we must strive to represent our country no matter what the situation is facing.

Do you have confidence in Italy's advancement to the World Cup?

Of course, there is confidence.

Sparetti became the scapegoat for the whole team?

When the coach is fired, this is a failure for everyone in the team. The coach is always the first person to take responsibility. We can only look forward to the future and work hard to start over. The others are not something I can evaluate.
