Italy – Hungary football video: Stormy attack, worthy of the first place (Nations League)

(Football video, soccer results, Italy – Hungary, Nations League 2022) Italy is trying to prove that defeat in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers was just an accident. Therefore, the national team has great respect for the Nations League.

Many national teams consider the Nations League to be a friendly tournament. The stars even complained that this was a meaningless tournament, at a time when the players were too tired after a tough season. But the Italians are looking to use the Nations League as a psychological springboard.

Italy (blue shirt) won an important victory

In the opening match, Italy drew with Germany 1-1. In the second round match, Italy meets Hungary. This is a match where coach Roberto Mancini’s teachers and students have the support of the audience at Orogel Stadium.

Therefore, Italy entered excitedly. 30 minutes, midfielder Nicolo Barella opened the scoring. And at 45 minutes, Pellegrini doubled the lead for the home team. That advantage helps Italy play more leisurely in the second half.
