After Italy lost 1-4 to Norway, Gattuso accepted an interview with Italian Sky.

He said: "This game has two completely different phases. In the first half, our team performed very well and we never gave the opponent a chance. In the second half, we encountered great difficulties. We are very disappointed. The players should have had a different night, but we made a lot of mistakes and they also seized the opportunity to hurt us."

Did we judge the situation wrong?

"In the first half, the team was very tight and we made it difficult for the opponent to find opportunities. In the second half, we conceded the ball in the opening 30 seconds (suspected slip of the tongue, not 30 seconds), and then our vulnerability was exposed. We need to improve, the game lasted 95 minutes, and our shortcomings were revealed in this game. As long as we are under a little pressure, we will become nervous."

Is it necessary to change the way we respond to the team?

"In the first half, Haaland barely touched the ball. As soon as we start to feel scared, our defense will become timid. We are willing to take responsibility and wait until the March game. We need to play the full 95 minutes like we did in the first half."

Considerations for the 3-5-2 formation?

"Time is very tight and we have to work more on our vulnerabilities. It is simple to say who is absent and who is on the field, but in fact, the players on the field have tried their best, but we did not expect this in today's game. We knew we could not give them space against Norway, but we are This problem happened. We will find a solution, we are eager to reach the play-off semi-finals and qualify for the World Cup. We apologize to the fans tonight: losing 1-4 at San Siro is never pleasant."
