Esposito: I was still playing in Serie B a few months ago and will repay the trust of Inter Milan and Italy

Hupu News November 14th Early this morning, the World Cup European qualifiers started. The Italian team defeated the Moldova team with a score of 2-0 in the away game. After the game, Italian team forward Pio Esposito accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

How to evaluate this game

Esposito: If there is no way to score an early goal to break the deadlock in this kind of game, the game will become very difficult. But we didn’t choose to give up, and luckily we finally seized the opportunity to score.

We created a lot of chances from the start to the end, and we just had to seize them and score, and in the end we did that and we're happy about it. The team remained focused throughout and did not flinch at all, but lacked a final kick, and the goal finally arrived before the end.

This game is not easy, but this is modern football. We knew Norway had won, so there was something special about the atmosphere. The heavy rotation also made it difficult to maintain concentration, but the important thing is that we got three points and continued our winning streak. Although the performance is slightly lower than before, we must focus on the overall process.

Regarding outside criticism of Italy

Esposito: It is always easy for outsiders to judge, but only those who have experienced it understand that the significance of this victory far exceeds qualifying for the World Cup itself. A win is significant and may not completely heal the wounds, but it will push us to end the qualifying campaign on a high note. We responded after the defeat away to Norway and withstood every offensive wave. This is football, joy when you win, pain when you lose, and you have to bear the blows you deserve. "

On scoring goals in the game

Esposito: All this has changed so quickly. A few months ago, I was playing for Spezia in Serie B, and then I participated in this summer's Club World Cup with Inter Milan. The key is to keep expectations at a reasonable level. For example, at a certain stage I may not be able to score, but I have to persevere. I have to remember Remember where you started and never be satisfied with where you are.

Do you feel satisfied?

Esposito: Yes, it's always a strong emotional experience to play in this jersey, and scoring goals is even more so.

How do you feel about the chemistry between you and Retegui?

Esposito: Me and Ray. Tegui gets along very well because he is a very, very comprehensive forward, he has all the compatible characteristics, but all the forwards in our front line are compatible and very strong.

What do you think of the Italian national team coach Gennaro Gattuso and the Inter Milan coach Chivu?

Esposito: Gattuso and Chivu have given me great support. I have to thank them and repay them with an outstanding performance on the court.

About the game against Norway

Esposito: We must go all out in every game, and we will be fully prepared for this game with the coach. "

The next World Cup qualifier against Norway will be played at the San Siro Stadium. Will you start?

Esposito: I have no special expectations about whether to start. I will follow the coach's arrangements and play at the right time. It's great to be able to play at San Siro, but I still have to adjust myself... maybe I will make my breakthrough with the national team first, rather than with Inter Milan.

Now, are you dreaming of scoring another goal at your home stadium on Sunday?

Esposito: That would be great. This is also because I have not scored a goal at the San Siro Stadium even when I represented Inter Milan. Maybe this will be realized in the national team first.
