Il Giornale writes that if we wanted to lead it is clear that Spain stole Spalletti’s idea and dominated this match from top to bottom without ever conceding the ball.

In the interview with Sky at the end of the match against Spain, the national team coach, Luciano Spalletti said: «We never gave up, but if you always come later it becomes more difficult because you can’t find lines of play, because you lose any geometry. We were in a difficult position to defend with the squad on the pitch, but precisely because we had chosen to try to command on the pitch.”
Spain-Italy, «Evidently they stole our idea»
Franco Ordine on the newspaper underlined how Spain must have stolen the idea from us then
“The good intentions (of coach Spalletti) stated before facing Spain are one thing and the physical and technical means at his disposal are another thing, much reduced compared to his rivals, who are masters of the pitch and the game and deserve to win with a goal . What comes to mind is a historic and famous joke recited by Petisso Pesaola who, as coach of Bologna in a match in Bergamo, after having promised “an attacking match” then made a super bolt and justified himself to the reporters thanks to a simple admission : «Evidently they stole our idea»”
Even Calafiori’s own goal is the seal of a state of anxiety and lucidity so as to kick as a beginner
“Spain stole Spalletti’s idea and dominated from top to bottom this challenge without ever conceding the ball of the game. Thus emerged the technical, personality and limitations physical condition of the national team cleverly hidden by Albania and signaled by the final anxiety betrayed in the debut match.”
