Daniel Glira: “We lack faith in ourselves”

The dream of the Olympic Games is becoming a distant dream for the Blue Team. Against Latvia The Azzurri had no chance on Wednesday evening. For Daniel Glira it was clear: “We had too much respect for the opponent.” Because: “They had the pressure at home in front of their fans. But we played too passively and didn’t concentrate enough on our own game.” “We knew we would face good teams here. But that doesn't change the fact that we have to step on the gas ourselves and create opportunities ourselves," says Glira, who adds: "We often lack belief in ourselves. Sometimes we have to try things out ourselves, even push ourselves to make mistakes to force it and not always just wait. This is the only way we might be able to score a goal.” No time to hang your heads The Blue Team will continue their match against France on Friday afternoon at 15 p.m. Whether the chance for successful Olympic qualification is still intact? “Absolutely,” says head coach Greg Ireland combatively. "I believe. The players are committed and are proud to be able to play here. We have to start the game better against France, be more physical and at the same time not concede too many penalties. Because one thing is clear: we don’t have time to hang our heads.” Italy desperately needs a win against France, who beat Hungary 5-3 on Thursday. Otherwise the Olympic dream must be buried.
