Italy's football coach, Gennaro Gattuso, has warned his players against underestimating Northern Ireland in their qualifying playoff semifinal in Bergamo. This comes after Italy failed to qualify for either of the last two World Cups. The winner of the match will face either Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final. Despite this, GattUSo remains positive and confident about his team's ability to perform well in the upcoming match. He also highlighted the threat posed by a motivated and hungry Northern Ireland team, missing two of their Premier League players.
