Gattuso: Our goal is to enter the play-offs, I hope Keane is fine

In the 7th round of Group I of the European Group Stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, Italy defeated Estonia 3-1. In an interview with RaiSport after the game, Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso said that the team had withstood the pressure.

About this game

- The important thing is to create opportunities, even if you miss goals and penalty kicks, it doesn't matter. The players are full of fighting spirit and are on the right path. We need to regain our fitness because we always struggled a little bit in the second game. If we can beat Israel it will be a big step and our aim is to get into the play-offs.

About the next games

- We have a mission: we must grow game by game, work together and gain confidence. I'm happy when I see this spirit, even if we make some small mistakes. I'm very satisfied and we're constantly working on it and improving.

Can mistakes be avoided?

- If it weren't for Donnarumma's accident, we wouldn't be talking about mistakes. You can't completely control the game for 90 minutes, but we endured the pressure here and managed to control the game in the end.

Regarding Keane’s injury

– I haven’t had much communication with him yet. His injury is regrettable, Esposito performed well as a substitute, and I hope Keane is okay.
