PSG midfielder Verratti dismisses Italy concerns after Luxembourg draw

PSG midfielder Marco Verratti feels it will be "alright on the night' after Italy's disappointing 1-1 draw with friendly opponents Luxembourg.

Verratti has claimed that his side are not concerned by the performance.

"This was the first game in which we tried a new plan," he told Rai Sport.

"It's unthinkable that we'd be at our best already. We're working hard, but we know that when the World Cup comes around we'll be ready.

"The result wasn't what was important today."
