«We missed the rhythm, the freshness, which always makes the difference. Tonight I changed some players but at the moment we are not able to do more than that.” Thus Luciano Spalletti spoke to Rai after the elimination from Euro 24. «That goal at the start of the second half cut our legs off, we were not very incisive, the pace made the difference, their was higher in the first half and even individuality there was a different pace between couples. Many were not continuous in pressing, in nibbling away at centimetres.”
Spalletti, resign or continue until the World Cup? Here’s what can happen now and who could replace him
«The road to the World Cup is very long, but it is a matter to be done slowly – continued the coach. but it certainly takes more pace, more quality and more sacrifice. Unfortunately there are a few things that also come from how the championship ended. We didn’t arrive in good condition and then the heat also had an impact.”
The Ct’s press conference
«Everything that happened is my fault because I chose the players. I’m not happy with the match we played and not even the one against Spain. I am partially satisfied with the other two races. The other time I took responsibility for what happened because I had changed and given little rest. This time however I changed six men, but the pace was always the same, but in any case it’s my fault. I have to have more timeI didn’t have much and it was immediately asked to win. The national team needs to change something».
THE RACE. «E’ We were timid in terms of intensity and we didn’t maintain a high level. If you don’t do something about the pace it’s difficult because the others go faster. You need more leg and that’s what you need with any form».
SWITZERLAND. «Switzerland qualified right. They played better than us and deservedly won.».
ENTER NEW YOUNG PEOPLE. «If there are young elements and they have the potential to put the others in a seat, I am the first one who has to find the right space. I have done many tests, but now I have to change something and this is a certainty. We have not seen a team that has the solidity to build on and therefore we have to get to grips with the framework that I have chosen. I have to do some tests and I am forced to do them because I have no other choice. This told the experience».
