Among the criticisms directed towards the coach, he also speaks of Nicholas Barella. Below is his thought expressed to Rai Sport.

According to Andrea Stramaccioni, Spalletti has changed too many game systems. In Napoli he didn’t make any changes to the formation, while with the national team he didn’t find something he liked. In fact, he changed the structure of the midfield.

“He replaces Nicolò Barella because he doesn’t work as an attacking midfielder, but Barella has never played as an attacking midfielder nell’Inter.”
