After their 2020 euro victory last month, the Azzurri was unbeaten in 34 competitive matches, one match was far from equaling the all-time international records held by Spain and Brazil.
Mancini’s side has won their three qualifying matches for the World Cup.
“We can improve in 14 months from now until the World Cup,” Mancini told a press conference on Monday.
“Nothing has changed.
Our lives will continue to run and our work too.
We have won the European Championship, we have made ourselves and 60 million happy Italians.
This is what makes us very proud, the fact that we give happiness to all these people .
“But there are still five qualifying matches to go and this must be treated carefully.
We started again against players who have played in the league for eight or nine matches.
The important thing is to meet the requirements, then we will have time for the final phase.
“Italy and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, who play an important role in the success of the Azzurri at Euro 2020, was chosen as the UEFA men’s player this year, and Mancini felt 29- years is the right choice.” He had done it well for years and this year he was.
