After Croatia-Italy and the qualification for the round of 16 of the European Championships, Spalletti got angry at a question from Condò on live TV.
Luciano Spalletti after Zaccagni’s run on the pitch which gave Italy a draw against Croatia and qualification for the round of 16 of the European Championships, he raised his voice to explain his team’s performance to Sky’s microphones. A not very welcome question from Paolo Condò triggered a somewhat piqued response from the national coach who wanted to clarify the situation for what amounted to a rebuke to the players.

But what infuriated Spalletti? A consideration by the popular journalist and well-known face of the satellite broadcaster Paolo Condò on the possible rebirth of Italy after this result, for an overly cautious team.
The coach considered those words as an attack on the module used and was indirectly enthusiastic about his choices, referring above all to the many errors of the Azzurri: “In the middle there is always what we manage to do and the behavior we have. But what cautionif the limit of not knowing how to play a ball out like in the first half is this, you can play in any way and do any research and it doesn’t work.”

A river in spalletti who wanted to explain that the national team’s woes for much of the match against Croatia were linked to technical errors which therefore go beyond modules and more: “It’s just that we need to do more in some moments. We are below our level standard, as in the second we are above, we have lost balls that we cannot lose, which must be managed better. What does prudence have to do with it, then once you have to play with three central defenders, once with 4: we play both ways”.
Too many mistakes from Italy’s players, Spalletti and the quality of the Azzurri
And his speech ends with a message also addressed to the team: “We need to do better in both ways, from a race management point of view. Today they were shy even in the first half, but it had nothing to do with the formation. We need to do more“. When Capello then points out that Italy’s possible problem could therefore be the lack of quality, Spalletti has no doubts: “We have players who have the qualities to play matches on equal terms, but they make simple mistakes. You have superior possibilities. Then it is clear that the quality in the middle of the pitch makes the difference, Jorginho and Barella played a good match”
