JAKARTA - The Italian national team won 2-0 over Hungary in Group 3 of the UEFA Nations League, Tuesday morning WIB. Despite winning in front of the opposing supporters, Roberto Mancini felt something was missing from his team.

In that match, the Magyars had several times made threats. However, Gli Azzurri's slick game was able to withstand the host's onslaught.

The game was even more perfect after Giacomo Raspadori scored the first goal in the 27th minute and was followed by Federico Dimarco in the 52nd minute. After the match, Italy coach Roberto Mancini commented.

"I'm happy that we performed superbly for 70 minutes. But I didn't really like (our performance) in the last 20 minutes, it still needs to be improved", Mancini was quoted as saying by UEFA's official website.

In that brief evaluation, Mancini admitted that there were still things that needed to be improved. However, he also feels that it is normal that his team's performances are not 100 percent solid because what matters is the result.

Speaking of results, Mancini is clearly grateful. Because this result is the second time the coach has passed Gli Azzurri to the next stage in the UEFA Nations League stage. This is considered by Mancini to be a sign of the revival of his team.

"It's important to see the final result, this has allowed us to reach the top four of the Nations League, for the second time", said Mancini.
