Azzurri on the pitch Saturday night against Albania, and the center forward said he is convinced of the team&#39s qualities. Which not only faces the kermesse in the role of reigning champions, but in his opinion can be a bogeyman for anyone.

"We are strong, because é è history to say so,” Retegui said in an interview granted to 'SportWeek' -We are four-time world champions, and the reigning European champions. Nobody would want to play against Italy. We are a very strong team, we have the potential to do great things at the European Championships".

Retegui però appears at the moment to be Spalletti&#39s alternative to Gianluca Scamacca, who could start Euro 2024 as Italy&#39s starting center forward. The striker currently under contract with Genoa, however, is not è worried: "I know I have to remain calm. I have to keep my feet on the ground and keep working. I demand a lot from myself, and I can improve in everything. Scamacca è a very good striker and he has great qualities; making comparisons between us è però something I don" like".

Finally, some confessions about ct Spalletti. "Thereò that he asks me more frequently è to help the team, even when we do not have possession of the ball. I have the task of pressing the defenders, but of course the most important thing remains scoring goals. And I want to score, always. When I can’t, I get angry, so I always try", stressed Retegui.
