YEREVAN. – It will be difficult to beat the Italian national team, Armenian football squad manager Vardan Minasyan said during a press conference on Thursday, NEWS.am Sport reporter informs.
“The mood [in our team] is very high. We have losses [that is, injuries and suspensions]. [But] All the players are ready. This Italian team differs from the previous ones in the sense that it demonstrates a creative football. [Italy manager] Cesare Prandelli is tactically the most knowledgeable coach in Italian football history.
Italy is a strong team, but it mostly plays a defensive football—Catenaccio. Now, they also play an attacking style. It will be difficult to beat them. Playing well is not enough to win; there should be success, too,” Vardan Minasyan stated.
To note, the 2014 World Cup Brazil’s qualifying Group B match between Armenia and Italy will kick off at Armenian capital city Yerevan’s Hrazdan Stadium on Friday at 9pm
