Nicolo Barella doesn’t make calculations with Ukraine

The words of Nicolò Barella

Nicolò Barella spoke to Sky Sport microphones on the eve of the decisive match for Euro 2024 qualification against Ukraine. " We will go into the match to win, not to find ourselves in uncomfortable situations afterwards, we know we have two results in our favor but it would be better to close it right away and then manage the situation".

"We took two goals on corner kicks,” he added referring to Macedonia, “but I never thought about a difficult situation. At this level, in the international arena, when you make a mistake you are punished immediately and that is why you always have to improve. I always had the feeling that I could win and it was nice indeed the reaction in going for the fourth and fifth goals instead of closing behind".

Comment on cohabitation with Frattesi: "Whoever plays in this national team has always done well, also Frattesi è a very good element. I don’t know what the coach’s choices will be, but whoever will play; will do" well".
