The coach, having noted the large turnout of the public, decided to open the entire session to the supporters present who found a place in the stands. In all around three hundred people who also sang chants for the players. And Spalletti himself appeared under the sector occupied by journalists to say hello. A relaxing gesture after the controversy in the press conference after the 1-1 against Croatia?

The Azzurri were divided into two groups. In the gym, set up with a tensile structure next to the changing rooms (raised above the pitch), the starters for Monday’s match worked out on exercise bikes.
