I was very nervous at the start of this match…I knew that if we don’t get the win, the whole country will say that I am not good enough! We started the match very well and until min 25 we managed to creat two very big chances to score, but Balotelli missed them both. After min 25, the match got harder as Ghana started playing better and they also missed a chance in min 35 by Asamoah Gyan… when everyone expected the half time and got a little relaxed, we catched Ghana on a counter, Pirlo giving a beautiful long pass to Insigne, and after dribbling Essien, Insigne gave a perfect cross for Candreva who scored with a volley and the first half ended 1-0.
The second half was pretty much the same as the first one, as we had some opportunities, but we keep missed them until minute 92, when Insigne gave a long pass to Florenzi, which, after dribling a player, scored with a beautiful long range shot and the match ended 2-0.
Now, we have to take the momentum from this friendly victory over Ghana in our next double against Denmark and Czech Republic, which is decisive for qualification to World Cup!
