The words of Luciano Spalletti on the eve of Belgium-Italy

Luciano Spalletti presented the challenge with Belgium in the Nations League, the penultimate day of the round, scheduled for Thursday evening in Brussels. "It must remain in everyone’s memory this story,” he began, returning to the tribute to the Heysel victims, “we owe it out of respect for all the people who were missed and their families. We must remember it so that it doesn&#39t happen again. Soccer è made of beautiful things, there are sad moments like these that must not happen again. The stadium è a place to enjoy and love a sport dear to so many people". 

Italy coach reunites with Nicolò Barella: "We need a footballer who can interpret well the fact of tying the midfield with the team’s restarts, he must be able to exchange positions with others and have offensive attitudes. Barella has all this, as well as we have other footballers who can do this role. Probably Barella will beà on the field".

Gianluigi Donnarumma è warned, but the coach of the Azzurri does not è intend to change goalkeepers: "Play Donnarumma. We need to trust our players and know that even at a time when something canò happen they know how to behave properly".

In Belgium, Romelu Lukaku returns: "Belgium has so many champions to choose from and who play in important clubs. It doesn’t matter if someone is missing, it will always be strong. Lukaku è a particularly strong footballer and will be a trap to defend against properly. We have to get used to playing against top footballers and have the same attitude".

" We want to play good soccer. What è our goal è is to want to play soccer and through the game manage to bring home results. Since I started that I have this idea, now that I have been doing this job for 30 years it è strengthened me: you have to play good soccer and through the game you go to have fun and you get from those who have fun even moreù desire" concluded Spalletti.
