Italy assistant manager Alberico Evani was delighted with their Nations League qualifying win over Poland.

Jorginho's penalty and a late Domenico Berardi strike secured the win.

“It's our culture, Italians give their best during difficult moments and become more united. It's what I asked of these lads before the game and they were extraordinary," said Evani.

“We stand by the attacking principles of football and Roberto has been working on them for two years. When you stick with it, in the long-run, you are rewarded.

“I spoke to him at half-time, he said we deserved a few more goals, so we need to be a little more efficient upfront, but the overall performance was good.

"We have these young players who are growing, gaining experience and showing they play like veterans."
