Roberto Mancini said ahead of
Wednesday's UEFA Nations League semi-final against Spain at the
San Siro that Italy wanted to extend its record 37-match
unbeaten run until the 2022 World Cup.
"(Spain coach) Luis Enrique is right, sooner or later we'll
lose," said 'Mancio' ahead of a rerun of the Euro 2020 semi that
saw Italy prevail on penalties after being tested more than any
other Euro opponent.
"We would like to go on like this until December 2022 but we
know it won't be so simple.
"We always want to win and continue to improve our record of 37
consecutive positive results, and we know that it will depend an
awful lot on ourselves.
"But now we have to think that we want to win tomorrow's match
to get into the final".
The second semi-final at the Allianz Stadium on Thursday pits
world champions France against world number one Belgium.
