The countdown is about to expire. 24 hours and Italy will make their debut at Euro 2024, facing Albania. The tension is starting to be felt and the coach was describing his feelings from the day before Spallettiinterviewed on Sky Sport:
What is he transmitting and what is he receiving from the team?
“The emotion will be there but it will be magnificent to play for our country with the Italian coat of arms on our chest in this stadium. We feel the emotion transforming into something enchanting. There will be many fans of our opponents, but we will have 60 million on the pitch because we will ask the fans to play it with us, to be on the pitch with us. Ten fixed roles and them across the pitch.”
How is Barella?
“He’s the one who knows how to do the most things, he has free and clean football, and we’re counting on him, but he still has to develop today’s training done well and tomorrow’s and then we’ll decide”
Have you heard the words of Chiesa or Scamacca? This desire to test themselves together that they have demonstrated…
“They must know that at this moment we are giants, heroes. We have little time available to train the national team, but with a group with this availability and awareness everything becomes easier and what you do in training is like 10 in a club”
And Calafiori?
“He has already shown that he can be trusted and he has the quality of an international footballer. When you have the ball you are a defender, but when he has it you have to chase him because he is the one who wants to go and score goals.”
Spalletti in conference: “Rules on video games? You sleep at night”
The coach also spoke at the press conference: “Sylvinho was very good at creating this team, we play against players who know our football very well and have quality, it will be a tough match – commented -. The rules on video games? Sometimes I regret having to come here to comment on things I didn’t say. What interests me is that we sleep at night, I don’t allow the team to stay awake at night and then arrive at training unrested, that’s all.” Finally on the choice of the 4-man defence: “We can also decide to play with the three-man defence, but the three-man defense can be even more offensive – he concluded -. The possibility of playing with two strikers must also be taken into consideration, because Scamacca and Retegui are very strong with Raspadori who can act as a sub striker. Positions on the pitch are fundamental if we are to be able to control the match.”
