A Jorginho penalty and Domenico Berardi's late strike바카라 웹사이트secured a comfortable victory for Italy on Sunday, taking them to the top of Nations League Group A1 with one match remaining.바카라 웹사이트
Another win against already relegated바카라 웹사이트Bosnia–Herzegovina on Wednesday will바카라 웹사이트guarantee Italy a spot in next year's바카라 웹사이트finals of the tournament, while a point would be enough should Poland draw with the Netherlands.바카라 웹사이트
Mancini is in isolation at his home in Rome바카라 웹사이트but Torino striker Belotti – who won the spot-kick from which Jorginho opened the scoring바카라 웹사이트and also바카라 웹사이트drew two fouls which saw바카라 웹사이트Jacek Goralski바카라 웹사이트receive a red card – hailed바카라 웹사이트the spirit in바카라 웹사이트Italy's squad.바카라 웹사이트
"We are like a family, so coming back here is like a father embracing his son," Belotti told RAI Sport.바카라 웹사이트
"That's how we all feel when we come on international duty, we just need to look each other in the eyes to know what we're doing.바카라 웹사이트
"We dedicate this win to the coach,바카라 웹사이트and also바카라 웹사이트to everyone else who is self-isolating at this moment.바카라 웹사이트
"We heard from him before the game, knew how sad he felt not to be here, so the dedication is for him."
Italy dominated from the off, amassing 19 attempts on Poland's goal in total, with the visitors failing to test바카라 웹사이트Gianluigi Donnarumma at the other end.바카라 웹사이트
Jorginho's penalty meant that, for the first time since Opta began recording such data in 2008, Italy have converted three successive spot-kicks, while Berardi's effort came at the culmination of a 30-pass move –바카라 웹사이트the longest sequence leading to바카라 웹사이트a goal in a Nations League match.바카라 웹사이트
Poland's talisman Robert Lewandowski cut a particularly frustrated figure, the Bayern Munich star managing just two touches in Italy's box, with his only effort coming in the 88th minute – a hopeful long-range punt which sailed harmlessly over.바카라 웹사이트
Mancini's assistant바카라 웹사이트Alberico Evani told RAI Sport:바카라 웹사이트"It's our culture, Italians give their best during difficult moments and become more united.바카라 웹사이트
"It's what I asked of these lads before the game and they were extraordinary, we stand by the attacking principles of football and Roberto has been working on them for two years.바카라 웹사이트
"When you stick with it, in the long바카라 웹사이트run, you are rewarded. I spoke to him바카라 웹사이트[Mancini]바카라 웹사이트at half-time, he said we deserved a few more goals, so we need to be a little more efficient upfront, but the overall performance was good."
