The coach’s words after the national team’s elimination from the European Championship at the hands of Switzerland
“I come away with the certainty that I have to change something, but I don’t think it’s as scandalous a result as it will turn out to be now.”. Thus the national coach, Luciano Spalletti, after the 2-0 defeat against Switzerland and the elimination at Euro2024.
«I think my passion is a symptom of deep respect for everyone, I take responsibility for the choices, but when I am told that against Croatia we played a scandalous game I say no again, today and against Spain we were below level. We passed a difficult round, deservedly in my opinion, but we did not see a team that has a base where you can go and build on it. We need to rework the framework that I chose, because this is what the experience has told us», added the Italian coach.
Who then called Inter into question: «Inter won the championship much earlier… Then I made sure and I saw that Inzaghi had the training done correctly all the way through, but it could be that mentally he isn’t so applied. I made the choice to play with just one striker. But we didn’t see the quality we needed to show and when we were forced to play at a high pace we didn’t bring out the quality we have. But it’s not an alibi, it’s a failure determined by my choices and my behavior. But I haven’t had much experience to test and it’s clear that you need more skill to play well», he underlined.
