In the World Cup play-off semi-finals, Italy will face Northern Ireland. Italian football legend Massimo Oddo shared his thoughts on the draw result.
Oddo stated: "We have avoided the theoretically stronger teams. With all due respect, most of Northern Ireland's players compete in lower-tier leagues. Gennaro Gattuso will be the guarantee—he will keep everyone grounded and well-prepared for every detail. Moreover, his instructions must be taken seriously; we need a group of players who can follow his guidance, understand the importance of the goal, and serve the team wholeheartedly."
