“Let’s not talk about qualification in the group. It’s still early. It’s wrong to think that we have two results to get through, we’ll take the field to bring home the victory.” Matteo Darmian is convinced of this ahead of Italy-Croatia on Monday in Leipzig, the Azzurri’s third and decisive match at Euro 2024.
“We should have the right attitude and the right attention to put them in difficulty, we want to move forward and we will do everything to do so. We need to focus on ourselves and on what awaits us against Croatia.”
“After Spain? The coach – adds Darmian – told us what he thought, it was a defeat that came after a match not played as we wanted. We must be aware of our strengths and demonstrate it on the pitch starting from Croatia. We at the level of we have important values as a group and we want to demonstrate it. If Acerbi’s injury took away space from me? No, I don’t think it took away space from me, the choices are up to the coach. It’s clear that Francesco is useful to every team with the qualities he has “.
Finally Darmian returns to Monday’s match: “Will there be any changes on Spalletti’s part? The choices he will make – concludes the Inter defender – will be for the good of the national team, I am available should I be called upon and I will do my utmost to move the team forward.”
