Former Italy striker Gianluca Vialli talked about tonight's decisive game for Italy in an interview with the Corriere della Sera. Just like Gigi Riva, Vialli knows the feeling of scoring a brace against Sweden, since in 1987 he put two past the Swedish goalkeeper of the time Ravelli in a 1988 European Qualification match.
"We definitely should not play like we did in the first match, - Vialli says - we made them feel stronger than they actually are. They have been playing the same route one football since the 50s, it's not acceptable to be caught off guard by such a team. We did everything wrong in the first match. But I think we can make it, Sweden are weaker than us". Vialli also believes that Ventura "knows what to do. A team can't be changed in just two days, but it can be fixed. Games like these require calm and awareness. Anyway, if we don't go through we will have to turn this defeat into a fresh start, an opportunity. But i think that won't be necessary".
