The experienced defender of the Italian national team, Leonardo Bonucci, blamed the system of competition in the qualification for the World Cup as the main reason why the "Azures" will not play in Qatar.

The Italians lost to Macedonia in Palermo last Thursday in the barrage match for the World Cup in Qatar, and Bonucci has not been able to overcome the defeat for six days already.

- It is absurd for one match to decide the winner. "Unfortunately, that is the path we took, but I must say that it is a crazy decision to play a match in which it can happen," said Bonucci.

The Juventus defender pointed out that at the World Cup in Qatar, the teams that suffered 4-5 defeats secured a place, while Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup, although they lost only one match.

- That is real madness. But this must be neither an alibi nor an excuse. We should have been better. We will learn lessons from defeat and failure and we will be better in the future and we will return to where we belong. "After winning the European Championship last year, it is clear to everyone that this is a great defeat and failure," Bonucci added.
