Italy Out of The Podium In Kuwait

Italy failed to win bronze in the Continental Futsal Cup. The Azzurri were beaten 3-0 by Brazil in the third place matach of the tournament in Kuwait. The South Americans scored three goals in the second half and punished the errors of the European champions. Jé broke the deadlock and Guina doubled the lead. Menichelli opted for the fly goalkeeper, advancing AGLA ENDORSED MURILO FERREIRA, but in the end Brazil’s Marcenio added a third. Among the AGLA-BOYS, the only one who took to the field in the starting five chosen by Menichelli was goalkeeper MAMMARELLA.

These are the thoughts of AGLA ENDORSED MARCO ERCOLESSI Ercolessi collected by the league’s www.divisionecalcioa5.it site after the match; "The 3-0 with Brazil is a result that maybe is an unfair reflection of our performance but when you try to force the equaliser you can either succeed or "sink" in the end. Unfortunatey this time it didn’t go well. I think there have been moments when we played well and, when you face good teams, the result goes to whoever makes the best use of the opportunities in front of goal. Certainly there is much to improve. We can highlight the result against Argentina, the consequence of a good performance, but from my point of view there is a lot of regret that we could have done more."

And regarding the next fixtures he said; "We must turn the page and start from here the journey to defend the European title. Surely qualification is within our reach but as soon as the next friendly we have to shift gears."
