Tonight the Azzurri challenge the hosts of Portugal in the quarterfinals of the Algarve Cup, the prestigious international tournament that will allow Italy – in view of the two qualifying matches for Euro 2021 in April – to compete with top-level opponents. During the three days of retreat in Vilamoura, a town a few kilometers from Faro overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the group trained intensely to immediately find the feeling and sensations that had characterized the last victorious commitments of 2019.
“I am very satisfied because the girls are doing their best – said Milena Bertolini before finishing the afternoon – I expect a great motivation from them, a great desire to play in this competition. For us, it is a source of pride to have been invited and we must demonstrate it from the first minute that we take the field. ” The coach, who in the inaugural match will not be able to count on Manuela Giugliano, struggling with a small ankle problem, knows that Portugal is growing and, despite the precedents being favorable to the Azzurri (two wins out of two in the qualifications for the French World Cup) , he asks for maximum concentration: “We have already beaten them, but tomorrow at the Algarve Stadium it will be another story. It is a team in marked improvement, which will give its best in front of its fans. He has players who play in important leagues and I expect a game of the highest level “.
Even Sara Gama knows it well, who can’t wait to take the field to inaugurate a new year in blue hues: “Tackling the hosts immediately will be stimulating, we must be ready and put into practice the movements we are trying in training. This is a friendly tournament, where however we will face top national teams. We want to start 2020 on the right foot “.

In the other quarter-finals, also scheduled for tomorrow, Germany and Sweden will face off, while the reigning champions of Norway will face Denmark.
