NO because of Cristiano Ronaldo, this is what makes Roberto Mancini pessimistic that the Italian national team will qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Mancio – Roberto Mancini’s nickname – assesses that Italy’s path during the 2022 World Cup playoffs is a bit difficult because they are not reinforced by two of their mainstay players who are seriously injured, namely Federico Chiesa and Leonardo Spinazzola.
Italy will face North Macedonia in the 2022 World Cup playoffs on March 25, 2022. If they win, Italy will challenge the winner between Portugal and Turkey in the final of the 2022 World Cup playoffs.

Therefore, the absence of Federico Chiesa and Leonardo Spinazzola is a major blow for Mancini. Both are key players for the Italian national team at Euro 2020.
Therefore, the former Manchester City coach does not guarantee to bring the Italian national team to ensure a place in Qatar. Especially if they qualify for the playoff finals, Italy will play at home to Portugal. Most likely, Portugal, reinforced by Cristiano Ronaldo, will qualify for the playoff final.
“I believe in the squad I have. I’m optimistic, but there will be 10 difficult days, and very difficult, we’ve come this far without them (Chiesa and Spinazzola),” said Mancini.
“I evaluate the condition of the players (with their respective clubs), this season it is important to be in good shape. We (Italy National Team) will not be 100 percent, and that must be considered,” added the former Inter Milan coach.
