Italy coach Roberto Mancini said he
has a lot of work to do after Monday's 1-1 draw with the
Netherlands in a friendly in Turin.
The Azzurri were the better side for much of the match but
failed to put away several good chances.
Simone Zaza slid in to fire home a rebound on 67 minutes but
substitute Nathan Ake levelled for the visitors with a header in
the closing stages after Italy defender Domenico Criscito was
sent off for a last-man challenge.
"We made an enormous slip up with their goal," Mancini told
RAI television.
"We were a bit tired at the end because we had to play for 20
minutes in 10.
"It's still too early to see anything (from my work).
"We have to start letting the youngsters play, those with
less experience".
Italy, who have not qualified for the World Cup in Russia,
lost 3-1 to France and beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 last week in their
first series of matches under Mancini.
