“We played well and approached the match correctly. The Czech Republic is a very good team, but we played them. This was really good,” Mancini told Rai Sport in an interview with Italian television.
Until the beginning of the match, he was completely satisfied with the performance of “Azzurri”. “I think it took us about 10 minutes to get to it because we haven’t seen each other for a long time. But I was hoping for just that kind of performance,” Mancini said.

“We know that we have a young team that needs to improve in many ways, but playing the last preparation before the Euro in this way can only be positive,” said the 56-year-old coach.
The Italians confirmed their excellent form, they won for the eighth time in a row without a collected goal and extended the series without defeat to 27 duels. “We are an offensive team. We have to push forward, but also defend well when needed. Balance is important. We are happy, hopefully we will continue to do so as long as possible,” said Mancini.
