The Italian National team won the double friendly match against Dutch selections. The Italian team, guided by Roberto Menichelli in this occasion (the coach of "Italy 2", a selection born three years ago in order to try new players for the "first" team) confirmed its defensive power by not taking goals in both matches. These matches were organized by the Italian federation to replace the postponed KL World 5 tournament, as a preparation for the World Championship in Chinese Taipei. On the other side Vic Hermans is keep on working with a quite young team in order to make again Netherlands strong as in the great past of Dutch futsal.
