The Italy striker spoke at a press conference today Stephan El Shaarawy he talked about what kind of national team this is: “What the coach asks of us is to try to pass the ball a lot, exchange phrases with the midfielders and then go to the outsides. Against Croatia we were a bit lacking and maybe with one less pass we could have immediately looked for the outsides. We try to do what he asks of us, sometimes it failed but the idea is that. I am always ready to do everything, the coach tried me as a high outside on the left and on the right, fourth in midfield and also fifth. I adapt to his needs but I know that even playing little I can be decisive as happened to Zaccagni. We have to be ready and with a clear conscience I am fine because I am doing my best”.
Spalletti said that basic mistakes happen due to too much attachment, how do you explain it?
“On the one hand it is also positive, when a player wears this shirt he wants to overdo it and do the best for this national team. Sometimes you fall into the rush of wanting to do too much and are not very clear-headed, on a qualitative level it is not even simple, but on the from the point of view of commitment and availability, everything was there. Then it’s clear that we can improve, this is a team of serious players who are training to the maximum.”
