This Italian bomber claimed to be burdened because of infertility for two years

Lazio striker Ciro Immobile can breathe a sigh of relief after scoring for the Italian national team. During that time, he felt overwhelmed because he had never scored a goal for GLI Azzurri.

In defending Lazio, Immobile is known as a dangerous bomber. In the previous two seasons, the 29-year-old has scored 59 goals in each competition.

In fact, the name Immobile has often entered the list of top scorers in Series A in recent years. In fact, he has the Cappocannoniere title twice, respectively in the 2013/2014 and 2017/2018 seasons.

But another cut was observed when he defended the Italian national team on the international scene. So far, he has only scored eight goals in 37 appearances.

Immobile scored for GLI Azzurri in 2017. So he has been a sterile striker for two years when he was in the national team uniform.

After all this time, his name was finally posted on the scorecard when Italy met Finland in a match that continued the 2020 European Cup qualifying round on Monday (9/9/2019). He was finally able to breathe relieved after stopping his goal hunger.

"I don't feel very happy not to score with this jersey, there has been so much talk over the last two years, but I am still calm and I know my time will come," Immobile said after the match against Rai Sport.

"People are always trying to create controversy around me, including with coaches, but it's OK, it's not easy to win here, but after disappointment [not eligible for the World Cup], we are back on track."

If Motionless is satisfied, this is not the case of Roberto Mancini. The GLI Azzurri coach felt that his team's performance was not satisfactory even though they won 2-1.

"There was a little problem, but we did it for ourselves, we dominated the game and let the ball run easily," Mancini said.

"The players played very well overall, even if there were scary moments at 1-1, we had to clean up, parties like this were hard and made us stronger," he said. he stated.

Italy will then play Greece at the Stadio Olimpico in October. With a 100% record so far, the match against Greece could be a deciding factor in their breakthrough at the European Cup.
