Euro 2024, Spalletti: "It could have been better, but we are Italy'Italy"

National team coach Luciano Spalletti commented on the draw for the Azzurri at Euro 2024 to RAI microphones. Italy è ended up in a decidedly tough group with Spain, Croatia and Albania: "Could it have gone better? Yes; but we were in the fourth bracket. Però we must never forget the fact that we are Italy. Hard to make predictions now, there are still so many months to go. Also L'Albania has definitely shown it can stay on the field", said the coach.

We know that a lot depends on our level of condition at that time, on the preparation we have been able to develop at this time both at the level of growth of the league and the relationships and relations between us. Those who love this sport must have a taste for challenge, for confrontation, otherwise we lose any pleasure".

"It's clear that inside a match there are various moments where the team must take a compact team attitude, sometimes there will be to defend with 10 players on the edge of the area, but the intentions are always to propose offensive soccer. May Vialli protect us".

Instead, this is how Figc president Gravina reacted to Sky: "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 have been 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".
