Italy has many good soccer players,
coach Roberto Mancini said after Saturday's 3-0 win in Athens
that preserved the Azzurri's perfect start to Euro 2020
qualifying and ahead of Tuesday's game against Bosnia in Turin.
"Italy is a land of good players: all I had to do was to seek
them out well and put them in the best conditions," he told a
press conference.
Asked about the "secret" for reviving Italy's fortunes after
its failure to qualify for last year's World Cup, Mancini said
"it was impossible not to find good players, despite the
difficult moment.
"They emerged one after another, and we will get even
better".
Mancini said "we're working to forge a strong and
entertaining Italy".
Italy are top of their group with nine points from three
games.
Italy maintained their perfect start to their Euro 2020
qualifying campaign with a 3-0 win over Greece in Athens on
Saturday.
Nicolo Barella, Lorenzo Insigne and Leonardo Bonucci were on
target to give the Azzurri nine points from three matches in
Group J, three points more than second-placed Finland.
"We're starting to improve," said Italy coach Roberto
Mancini, who is seeking to turn the national team's fortunes
around after their failure to qualify for last year's World Cup.
"We did well to control the game like that.
"We could have pushed a bit more, we managed the lead too
much. We did well not to concede but we can do more."
