Clarifying UEFA 2026 qualifiers
I’m thinking about the UEFA 2026 qualifiers, wondering if there will be 12 groups of 4 or 5 teams. The group winners will qualify directly while runners-up go to playoffs, but I’m not completely sure about the details. It’s also true that the tournament expands to 48 teams, with UEFA increasing their slots from 13 to 16. I should suggest targeting qualification for Italy and ask the user what they want—translation, context, or an article?Providing insights on Italy's World Cup goals
Okay, let’s start with a concise take: Materazzi believes it's reasonable for Italy to aim for the World Cup finals, considering their tradition, squad, and the expansion to 48 teams.
I should mention the background that Italy missed qualifying for 2018 and 2022. Currently, they have Spalletti as coach, but coaching could change by 2025. It’s reasonable to say he is working on team rejuvenation.
I’ll offer two options: 1) Translation, or 2) Analysis and context based on the squad's prospects.
Here's the English translation: "Materazzi: For a team as strong as Italy, reaching the World Cup finals tournament should be the target."
英文翻译：“Materazzi: For a team as strong as Italy, reaching the World Cup finals tournament should be the target.”
简短观点
- 这话题契合预期：意大利传统强队、阵容深度在欧洲一线，世界杯扩军也提高了出线概率。
- 现实挑战仍在：过去两届无缘世界杯，进攻效率、关键战稳定性、新老交替都是门槛。
- 合理的阶段目标：先确保世预赛出线（直接或附加赛），再谈淘汰赛更深目标。 
需要我做哪一个？
- 继续翻译或润色为更地道英文/中文表达
- 补充背景：意大利近年战绩与主帅思路、潜在首发框架
