Odo: Italy avoid theoretically more difficult opponents, players must follow Gattuso s guidance

In the World Cup play-off semi-finals, Italy will face Northern Ireland. Italian star Odo talked about the draw results.

Oddo said: "We avoided teams that are theoretically more difficult to deal with. With all due respect, most of the players in Northern Ireland play in lower-level leagues. Gattuso will be the guarantee. He will keep everyone grounded and ready for every detail. And his demands must be listened to carefully. We need a group of players who can follow his guidance, understand the importance of goals, and serve the team."
