On October 15, in the European preliminaries of the World Cup, Mancini scored to help Italy defeat Israel 3-0 at home. He accepted an interview with the media after the game.

Scored the first goal for the national team. How important is set-piece tactical training to you?

I'm happy, but the most important thing is the victory. We knew this game was going to be tough, especially given how the first leg went. We prepared well and played a great game, and this victory is inevitable. Scoring goals makes me personally happy, but winning is the most important thing.

We carefully prepared tactics with Bonucci and invested a lot of time. We worked hard to implement the tactical arrangements of him and the entire coaching staff on the court.

Do you want to be a regular starter?

In the national team, you have to be a member of the team, there is no hierarchy. Whether you start or come off the bench, you have to give it your all, regardless of playing time.

Are you more comfortable with Roma's three-back system?

Any system will do. I do play more as a three-back, but I must adapt to the coach's requirements and focus on teamwork.
