The Italian coach: “Udine? I had a great time, a beautiful area and a very civilized city”

Now we need to understand what to savor on the palate. Because Belgium has left us that sweet and sour taste which on the one hand satisfies and enhances the taste, on the other it produces sensations that are complicated to manage. After the draw with Belgium, in fact, Luciano Spalletti was bitter (“I carry with me the displeasure of the boys in the changing rooms”) but also decidedly positive in view of the future (“I saw some confirmations, after the European Championship we swerved”). We must therefore start again from the first half at the Olimpico, from that symphony that initially knocked Belgium out. It serves to produce further long-term self-esteem and obviously to protect the lead in the Nations group.

“A match full of difficulties because they are a good team – says the coach -. They know how to play football. We will always need to stay in balance. Udine? I had a great time, a beautiful territory and a very civilized city, happy to play in this stadium also if I would have preferred a better climate. Football should be joy.” Then he goes into more detail about Italy’s moment: “The group is working with great commitment on the right path of sweat, sacrifice, attachment to the shirt, they show us beautiful things. The difficulty is that any growth never has easy steps. I hope the team can take control of the match, they won’t have the same attitude as the first leg or the match against France, at times they wait with a single low block, other times they come to get you. You will have to interpret their positions. Then the plays between the departments made with quality and precision, without too many references to the defensive line, will be fundamental.”
