The words of Luciano Spalletti on the eve of Italy-Ukraine

Luciano Spalletti spoke in a press conference on the eve of the match between Italy and Ukraine, scheduled for Tuesday evening at San Siro. "I found the boys splendid and sorry for what è was the result and a little bit for the performance – began the Azzurri coach -. We seriously analyzed what è happened and some excuses they had. The matches are all in or out, they are all to be won".

Few doubts about Gigio Donnarumma: "He"ll" be a starter, immediately this is answered. For what is coming up è the role of the goalkeeper who always pays dearly for everything. Then he is not forgiven for being a wunderkind who is burning the candle at the seams because he is given this talent, this quality;. And because we all è struggle and s've had to work hard to get to a level and then someone else is gifted… One struggles a little bit, or at least is waited on to go and hit it. There'è this way of thinking. It's all quite normal, mistakes can be made if mistakes can be spoken of, and then toward someone there are stronger stances. Then the prodigy kids have to have respect for the talent that è has been given to them becauseé then you have to improve this talent with commitment, only then for those who look at you it becomes more difficult to hit you. If you don’t work on talent, then it becomes conceit. Becauseé working on it means that he doesn’t trivialize whaté has been given to him and causes in others even more respect".

On the possible formation: "Today we have the misfortune to have conference before training. I have a difficultyà of the objective formation. Forò a couple of them we sent home…".

So he denied Equipe's indiscretion about Marco Verratti’s rejection of the call-up: "I didn’t make time to phone everybody but I phoned somebody and I phoned him. And it doesn&#39t seem to me that he told me soì. It doesn&#39t seem to me that he told me soì on the contrary, but he told me that he was very pleased to have received this call and that he wanted to help out, even though he was going to play far away. Bonucci also told me the same thing, he also wants to be of help to the national team".

" We have to be able to react on any field, sometimes we react strongly with behavior, sometimes with silence. We have to react to whatever is in front of us. Personalità è when you have a lot to say and you keep quiet by passing as a chicken to gain afterwards…. At the San Siro stadium I have nothing to ask, we are the ones who have to deserve their behavior. Since I have attended national team matches at San Siro, I ask them what they have always done. There'è always been a warmth that then becomes the completeness of what must be our desires and our quest" concluded Spalletti.
