Luciano Spalletti, coach of the Italian national team, granted an interview to Corriere della Sera. “The blue shirt? It is the most beautiful and most important in the world, the first skin for a footballer. You have to wear it with pride and conviction. With dignity and humanity. In our national team everyone must be on the same level, so that no one feels powerful.”
Spalletti’s words
“Apart from Inter who deservedly won the scudetto, Bologna. It takes me back to Napoli. Nice game and the group breathes friendship and brotherhood. That’s how you win, too. Milan? Pioli is an excellent coach and above all a man with great human qualities, he has depth. He has done well for Milan in these three years. I don’t go into the internal dynamics. Napoli? Three coaches generally don’t change even in five years. How can you assimilate so many things in just a few months from men who have different methods and characters. Players sometimes need to be comforted, convinced that they are strong. Just a little is enough to demotivate you. Young guys like Zirkzee, Kvara for example must be cultivated, defended and supported every day”.
