“Already in America in March and in the Empoli match it was played like this. I needed to put someone closer to the first striker, Scamacca only remained in the first match. Then there is the need to absorb their cuts from behind. This way the quality in the middle of the pitch is kept intact. So as to make the exteriors stand up again”. Thus the Italy coach, Luciano Spallettiat Sky Sports, an hour from match against Croatiathird and final match of the group stage of Euro 2024.
Spalletti’s words
“The boys are all fine, in the last match we weren’t able to do what we expected, there were behaviors that I don’t want to see again but we have what it takes to play a balanced game in the middle of the pitch. We want to be in a position to have the substance of having the game in balance“, he added, “When did I think of this module? Always, the analysis is made of the entire path taken. Through the ups and downs there has always been growth. The boys did their duty. It was difficult to qualify, now we are in a group of death where we are playing for qualification for the last match against Croatia. It’s one of those challenges that will make us protagonists or extras in this story“, he added.
