Italy beat Liechtenstein 5-0 today for their ninth straight victory. After the game, Roberto Mancini spoke to Rai about the match: "We struggled a bit at the beginning because the second goal didn't arrive quickly. It happens when you change a lot of players. I received positive responses. Many of them played very little together until now, maybe this was the main problem."
"We believe in all of the players, in June for numerical reasons some good ones will have to stay home. I hope they have other possibilities, because they are great and have good quality."
"We need to improve as a team. I like that the guys on the bench also participate in the game, it means they feel part of the game even if they aren't playing. The feeling is important. The record of nine straight wins doesn't matter to me, I would certainly settle for the European championship."
