The Italians, who became world champions in 2006, probably never imagined how badly they would struggle to compete in this tournament in the future.

In the 2018 World Cup and in Brazil, "Squadra Azzura" did not get past the group stage, and they did not participate in the other two championships at all.

Nonetheless, the current head of the Italian national team delegation, Gianluigi Buffon, believes that the curse will be overcome and his compatriots will once again delight their fans with beautiful victories.

"Now the main goal is to break through to the World Cup. In June, we will play an important match against the Norwegians, and we need to show a bit of healthy sporting anger and arrogance, saying that 'we are Italy.'

Just like the French after the European Championship, we need to stand up and declare: 'No matter what happens, we are going to the World Cup.'
