Matteo Ritigi expressed his happiness with the Italian national team's progress in absorbing their coach Gennaro Gattuso's ideas, after winning against the Zionist entity with a score of 3-0.

Ritigi said: "I am very happy, we are doing something important here, the last two international matches were positive, and we are absorbing the coach's ideas."

He added: "I believe we are creating a strong unity, we are scoring a lot of goals, and we also managed to keep a clean sheet this evening."

He pointed out that Italy's chances of surpassing Norway at the top of the group have become almost nonexistent, even if they win the direct confrontation next month: "Now we need to rest, work on continuing to improve, stay humble, and monitor what we can do in the upcoming international matches."

Ritigi continued regarding his level in the Saudi league with Al-Qadisiyah: "The Saudi league is harder than people think, there are teams that can compete with European teams, I play regularly and at a good pace, so I maintain my fitness."

He added: "I have scored five goals in the last four matches for Italy, and this reflects our continued strong performance under Gattuso's leadership."
