In the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries in the early hours of Sunday morning, Italy will go to an away game to challenge Estonia. At the press conference before this game, Italian defender Calafioli talked about related topics.

About my position in the national team

In theory I am a full-back, but now I am really happy. When I have freedom and the awareness to get forward, I can perform at my best and help the team.

About the training intensity of the team

We worked very well, with great intensity, I must say I did not expect this, hope it will help us a lot, because in international competitions every team is very strong. We need to be better at recognizing dangerous situations than we were against Israel, and that includes myself.

About the remaining World Cup qualifying schedule

Because we are Italy, I can't imagine Italy missing another World Cup. We were hurt by the last two defeats and we will do everything possible to ensure this never happens again.
