Italy coach Giampiero Ventura
called for "desire and enthusiasm" from the Azzurri in their
penultimate World Cup qualifier against Macedonia in Turin
Friday night.
He said that against the Macedonians and then in Albania on
Monday "we must earn the two points necessary to have a
privileged position in the play-offs".
"On a numerical level we have done enough: 11 games, 8 wins,
two draws and a loss (to Spain)," he said.
Many of the Azzurri will be meeting two old acquaintances,
Macedonian forward and skipper Goran Pandev, and Albania coach
Christian Panucci, the former Roma, AC Milan and Real Madrid
defender.
