Zoff: “Not an easy draw for Italy but I’m confident”

“I think that the start with North Macedonia at home is a good start, then it has to be played, certainly it is not easy, but I am confident”. This was stated by former goalkeeper and Italian coach Dino Zoff to Adnkronos regarding the draw for the qualifying playoffs for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where Mancini’s Azzurri will have to contend with North Macedonia in the semi-final at home and possibly in the final in away match with the winner of Portugal and Turkey. “Portugal was perhaps best avoided as they are an experienced team but I am confident”, reiterated Zoff.
