I don't say it as the mistake of the coach, the players or the overconfidence of the team. It is the bad luck of the team or the fate. Going through the match stats it is possible to know what has happened in the match. Italy have made 32 shots whereas Macedonia have made just 4 shots. Italy have made 16 corner shots whereas Macedonia have made none. Italy made 5 shots on the target and Macedonia made just two. Here in all aspects Italy have played better than North Macedonia, but they weren't able to win which is fate/bad luck.
You know, we could talk about bad luck if Italy could not defeat the Czech Republic, or Austria in this way. But with Macedonia, there should have been a confident victory. In no way do I want to offend the national team of North Macedonia, but Italy should not have let themselves be beaten. It could have been a draw and a win in extra time, or even a penalty shoot-out, but losing in regular time is unacceptable. Also, out of 32 shots on goal, and only 5 were in the stovr, this is a very bad statistic, maybe there was still an underestimation of the opponent by Italy?
Yes, there was no underestimation of the Macedonia. Macedonia did not just end up in this selection, but because Macedonia beat other teams. What happened to Italy initially should not have happened if Jorginho had scored a penalty. The Italian national team passed the entire qualifying cycle perfectly, but the failures in the qualifying cycle and then the failures with Macedonia showed how deceptive luck can be.
Well, one good striker was probably not enough, but there is no logic in the defeat of Italy, pure failure.
