Reflecting on the team’s tactical framework, Mancini emphasised that maintaining an aggressive, forward-thinking approach remains non-negotiable. Italy weathered a second-half storm thanks to key saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma before pressing high to force the error that led to Bastoni’s equaliser.
Mancini noted that building consistency takes time, but the squad’s commitment remains clear.
“We know that it will take a bit of time, but the attitude should always be the same,” Mancini added. “Against France, it was a tough test because we faced a great national team. We want to continue our growth path.”
