After a great victory, you have to start again with your feet on the ground, avoiding underestimating every opponent, and in the Italy-Bulgaria match of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers Mancini asks this from the Azzurri. After the triumph of the Wembley final with the success of Euro 2020 , the Italian national team is preparing to face the Bulgarians; in a valid challenge for qualifying for the next world championships, to which this time we hope to qualify.
The teams belong to group C and Italy is leading with 9 points, followed by Switzerland which has 6 but has one game less, Northern Ireland and Bulgariawith 1 point and Lithuania still at zero points. By winning against Bulgaria , the national team would have the opportunity to keep the distance from the Helveticians unchanged, against which they will play on Sunday 5 September. Furthermore, this challenge is important because it would allow to reach the unbeaten record of Spain of Xavi and Iniesta and of Brazil of Romario ; this unbeaten record consists of a streak of 35 consecutive useful results. After that, it will be enough not to lose against Switzerland to become the undefeated national team for the most rounds in the history of football.
The opponent is not the most insidious, since he has collected only one point in three games, losing to Italyand Switzerland and drawing in the match against Northern Ireland; however, there must be no drop in concentration and patience is required because the Bulgarians will most likely close behind.

Italy Bulgaria 2022 World Cup Qualifiers Qatar – The words of Mancini and Bonucci
Coach Roberto Mancini wants to keep everyone on the ground and says that we have won the European Championship but in 13 or 14 months there will be the World Cup; you can try an encore but you have to be very concentrated for the next three games which are fundamental in terms of qualification. The first game is always a bit more delicate but the condition is acceptable, so you have to pay the utmost attention and win the race.
Bonucci returns to the very colorful celebration at the end of the Wembley final and says it was a consequence of the disrespect of the British, who were 100% sure they had won the match before playing it. Now the team must start again with great humility and think about having a great match against Bulgaria.
