National team, Luciano Spalletti loses a piece right away
Spalletti’s words
Luciano Spalletti spoke in a press conference ahead of the Nations League challenges against Belgium and France: "It seems easy to score a point (to fly to the quarters and be top of the series in the World Cup draw, ed) but this is not è the reasoning we have to do. If we think it is easy we are wrong, matches are difficult. But we are not playing to make a point, the attitude and thoughts must be correct, not presumptuous. Presumption è the first thing to fight".
Immediately a change in the summonses: "Ricci goes home becauseé we do not want to take him to be infiltrated to play. Locatelli comes in his place".
"È the gathering of continuityà of following up on what has been done in the past. The change è depended mostly on them. Buffon was telling the boys today that one of the important qualities è was that they regained awareness of their own qualities è and strength. You can see that they are calm. And through these aspects they have also become a team. We are definitely happy that they have taken this new tactical system into total consideration. Soccer è always evolving, there are always different methods of being on the field and they know how to adapt. I told them that they are perfect undisciplined".
Filling in on Kean and Retegui: "It becomes a bit easy to explain why they can play together: Kean has often played outside as well, è running, leg, one to scamper, he launches himself into space on his own. Retegui è from the penalty area, very good at finalizing, at knowing where the second post and where the goalkeeper is. He sees well in reverse, that is, where he doesn't look. Now Kean has also shown the same, his last three goals say he è complete. So Retegui first point and Kean in the spaces around. Kean also had a little problem, for a couple of days we will be careful, then we will put them in the conditions to express themselves at their best. È it is also important to have alternatives in the race in progress".
