Luciano Spalletti he gave himself to the Rai microphones after Italy’s elimination from the European Championships. The Italian national team was defeated 2-0 by Swiss in the round of 16.
The spark never went off…
“The goal in the second half cut our legs off, we went off the pitch and were not very incisive. The difference was the pace, too slow compared to theirs in the first half. Even in the individual teams there was a different pace in the pairs and in the individual situations”
Even in terms of mind, in terms of attitude, this is not the Italy she wants.
“Freshness and mentality make the difference. Tonight I changed some players and helped them recover, at the moment here due to too many conditionings we are not able to do more than this”.
The road ahead for the next World Cup is very long
“This issue must be addressed slowly, we need more pace and more skill. More continuity, more sacrifice. In many of us we were not continuously nibbling at the meter and centimeter. We did not arrive in the optimal condition also by virtue of how the match ended championship”.
