Euro 2024 Italy, Spalletti responds to Swiss journalist: "Bad taste"
Luciano Spalletti under the crossfire of journalists at a press conference after Italy's flop at the European Championships. The Azzurri coach also has to respond to the ironic innuendo of a Swiss journalist, who compared Italy to a Panda and the Swiss national team to a Ferrari: "One has to accept everything, even allusions in bad taste like his".
"I understand that you are a person of great irony and quality. You are right, you were better than us, you won deservedly. We will try to do better next time, since we were not able to put you in a difficult position.
".
Spalletti è took responsibility for the defeat: "From my point of view nothing changes, I have the responsibility for what è happened. I chose the players and it is clear that I am on a path where I have to make some knowledge. I am not happy with the game we played, even with Spain. I am partially satisfied with the other two of games, but we were under level. I rehearsed, last time I thought I was responsible for coaching them, for being on them. This time I made them recover. The other time I was giving myself responsibility for changing little. È also depended on how è our championship ended, but so’we are talking about things that can border on alibis".
" I’m on a path, although it may seem like I’m going in search of justifications but everyone else had 20-30 games to prepare for the’European, I had 10 and we were with the gun pointed: ‘I have to win’. Right I have to win, but then I need more first-hand knowledge to be able to take the best. Then we had injuries that I was counting on and today it è showed that in’intensity’ we were inferior".
