Italy, Darmian: “Croatia? We’re not playing for a draw”

Monday’s opponent is very strong and has experience, they have many quality players. We will have to be careful, but at the same time we will have to play our game with the our weapons, I’m sure we can put them in difficulty. Playing for a draw? These conversations aren’t being discussed yet in this group, it’s wrong to think we have two results out of three available, we’ll only take the field for the victory “.
Darmian he then returned to the defeat against the Spain: “In these days we are analyzing what we did in the last match so as not to repeat the mistakes made and to prepare for the match against Croatia in the best way. It’s normal that after a defeat there is always a bit of disappointment and regret. We wanted to do better, but we were up against a very strong team who put us in difficulty. We can learn a lot from defeats, we will have to be good at not repeating the same mistakes and go onto the pitch with the right desire and determination. I think you always need a bit of balance, after a victory you shouldn’t get too excited just as after a defeat you shouldn’t throw everything away. We must be more balanced, we must learn from mistakes and transfer the disappointment onto the pitch to play at our best against Croatia.”
