PSG midfielder Verratti admits he can do better for Italy

PSG midfielder Marco Verratti accepts he should've done better for Italy's 1-0 win over Euro qualifying opponents Malta.

Verratti stepped in for Juventus veteran Andrea Pirlo.

"I know that I don't have a secure spot in the Italy line-up and there are some great players ahead of me, but it is up to the Coach to make his decisions and I am at his disposal.

"I doubt any of us are 100 per cent satisfied, but in football when you lose then you're considered useless and when you win it has to be 6-0. We hit the woodwork four times and got the points, which is what matters."
