Interview on RadioSei: Stefano Mattei Analyzes the transfer market of Lazio and the Italian national team
Recently, on RadioSei, the well-known journalist Stefano Mattei shared his opinions on the Biancocelesti transfer market and on the progress of the Italian national team at the European Championships. Here is a detailed account of his statements.
Lazio transfer market: Lotito’s expectations
Mattei passionately discussed the reality of the Biancocelesti transfer market, underlining the importance of waiting for the real names that Lotito will bring to Lazio. According to the journalist, the company is not willing to satisfy Manchester’s economic requests for Greenwood. “Then maybe it will be said that an attempt was made to take him,” he insinuated. Mattei criticizes Lazio’s strategy, which seems to focus on semi-unknown players at exaggerated prices, while lacking the audacity to attempt to purchase high-level players. “It seems to me there is a desire to pull the wool over our eyes,” he concluded bitterly.
Italian National Team: Excessive Euphoria
The discussion then turned to the Italian national team, with Mattei observing an exaggerated emphasis following the victory against Albania. “I’ve always said to wait for more conclusive tests,” he said, highlighting that the awakening after the defeat against Spain was abrupt. The Italian team failed to have a shot on target, while Spain had 14 scoring chances. These numbers are crucial ahead of the decisive match against Croatia. A possible defeat could even relegate Italy to fourth place, in the event that Albania manages to beat an already qualified Spain.
Spalletti’s Responsibilities and the Level of the Team
Mattei also reflected on the responsibilities of coach Luciano Spalletti. According to him, the coach cannot perform miracles without a competitive team. “Italy only has two international stars, Donnarumma and Barella,” he declared, reiterating that the team falls into the middle range of national teams which, in the best of cases, can aspire to the quarter-finals.
In summary, Stefano Mattei’s words offer food for thought for both Lazio fans and Italian national team enthusiasts, highlighting challenges and critical issues that need attention.
