Vicario: ‘Italy working on details to improve’ defending from set plays

Italy goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario insists they have been ‘working on those details to improve’ their defending from set plays ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Estonia.

The game with Estonia kicks off at the Le Coq Arena in Tallinn at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

Tonight’s match will be available to watch live in the UK and Ireland on Amazon Prime Video. Supporters in the USA are able to tune in via DirecTV Stream, Sling TV and Tubi TV.

The Nazionale are almost guaranteed at this point to require the play-offs to reach the 2026 World Cup, as this evening Norway swept Israel aside 5-0 with an Erling Haaland hat-trick, despite the Manchester City striker missing the same penalty twice.

“Honestly, we cannot control what the other results are, so we just need to concentrate on what we need to do, regardless of the other games. It changes absolutely nothing in our approach,” Vicario told RAI Sport.

Italy crushed Estonia 5-0 on Gennaro Gattuso’s debut last month in Bergamo, but didn’t manage to take the lead until almost the hour mark.
