Euro 2024, Luciano Spalletti admits it

The words of Luciano Spalletti

Luciano Spalletti on the official website of the Figc è returned to talk about his Italy, which è has been included in Group B of Euro2024 along with Spain, Croatia and Albania: for the Azzurri will be difficult (although certainly not impossible) to qualify for the knockout stage of a competition of which they remain the defending champions.

"It could have gone better – admitted the coach who took over from Roberto Mancini – If you look at what è the group, it could have gone better. We know that we get there with the humility of having so many teams in front of us, forò then nothing can take away from us the pride of being a team that has an important history and we have to live up to the history we carry"

"There's still a long time, we will have to see how we get there. We want to be able to play our soccer becauseé for the passion and love that there's towards this sport you have to go and play it, there must be the pleasure of challenge and confrontation", concluded the former Napoli coach.

Instead, this is how Figc president Gravina had reacted in the heat of the game: "We are relatively satisfied, è it is clear that, as in all draws, we hoped for some less challenging situation, forò we also saw that it could be worse. We are firmly convinced that we can do well, we have Spalletti particularly confident and we have to recover that extraordinary drive of so many Italian fans who are waiting for an important response in terms of results".
