Italy is about to face Norway. Di Marco attended the press conference before the game.

Di Marco said: "Representing the national team in the World Cup is a very good thing, and we have an obligation to qualify. We will face a strong national team, which we have already seen. But we are no longer the team in the first round. The game in Oslo was bad. Tomorrow we have to let them change their outlook. "We have started a new journey with the coach. We work well together and get along well. Paying attention to details in such a short period of time is the most important. A national team like Italy can always show its strength whether it is in the European Cup or the World Cup."} "Reversal of Norway's top spot? Frankly speaking, I think it is extremely difficult. It can even be said to be impossible. Putting aside 9-0, this is the last game before the play-offs in March. We must try the final tactical arrangement, and victory will help win more wins in the future."

"Everything went wrong in the match between the two teams in Oslo. Wrong, we suffered a 0-3 defeat. Sadly, it was the first game of the group stage, and even though we won everything afterwards, that game still had a negative impact on us. Norway is a strong team, but Italy must qualify for this World Cup based on what they showed and proved in this group.”
