Milena Bertolini at the final whistle saw the glass half full and expressed her trust in the players ahead of their crucial final group game against Belgium: "It's in our hands. We know we have to get four points to get through the group stages. Today, the girls played really well because to react to an early goal is never easy. Thanks to our efforts as a collective, and playing some nice football on the deck, we recovered" - concluded the Head Coach - "the was a result of this and the heart we put into our performance. The girls had to stay in the game and they did, showing a great deal of character".

"I'm quite disappointed to have only drawn the game", commented Barbara Bonansea at the end of the match - "We had many chances and should have done better with them. But there's still another game to play. We've got to put even more in. We must give our all against Belgium: it's all or nothing". And there were no complaints for the striker's starting place on the bench: "The Head Coach decides, we're all worthy of a starting berth, she must have seen other players more ready than me. We are a special group".

"We didn't want to concede so early on, but we did well to re-organise ourselves and react. We got better as the game went on. We need to trust and believe in ourselves, and try to improve", Martina Rosucci, one of the players of the match in Manchester against Iceland, commented after the game. "We need to show even more against Belgium".
