Today's goal of Milena Bertolini's Azzurre, in the last friendly, is very clear: to beat Northern Ireland to greet 2022 with a victory, fundamental for the team's morale, and to continue the approach path with confidence and conviction at the World Cup: “
Intensity and technical precision will be needed
”.
The match will be broadcast live, starting at 20 in Italy, on Rai Sport + HD.
In Belfast, Italy is looking for redemption after the last defeats against Brazil and Austria.
The two consecutive defeats have highlighted the aspects on which we will have to continue working in view of the championship tournament, and have in any case provided valuable indications to the coach, ready to restart from the good things shown by his players in the friendly match in Lignano Sabbiadoro: “C
Against the Austrian national team
- he declared -
we gave the young players experience, who behaved well, also finding the courage to go and press our opponents in their own half in an attempt to make the match
”.
Furthermore, today's friendly will allow the Azzurre to understand the aspects that have worked less in recent matches, starting with the concreteness in front of goal.

'I expect a match similar to the one played 3 days ago
- added the coach -
we will have to play with intensity and physicality and be good at taking a step forward in managing the ball.
To surprise the Northern Irish rearguard and put our forwards in a position to finish on goal, we need more technical precision, but I'm sure we'll be prepared
