Italy, Davide Frattesi doesn’t mince words on elimination from European Championships
The words of Davide Frattesi
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Nations League match against Israel, Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi, among other topics, è returned to talk about the Azzurri's unsuccessful expedition to the 2024 European Championships in Germany.
"There è that we è lacked a bit in the European expedition è was the fun on the field that s'è seen with Belgium. Spending so many days in an environment that was not as joyful and friendly as there is now affected the performance of all the players. There was too much pressure, both outside and inside. We ended up putting it on ourselves as well, because we couldn't make two passes in a row. It wasnè t such a fun expedition" began the blue midfielder.
"When we arrived in September I talked to Spalletti in the gym and in congratulating me he said he held me in high esteem, but also that I would be the one he would break the most. He saw something in me that he liked, and now the reproaches have diminished. When he è came here to say that the European's faults were 99 percent his, I disagreed. He could be more light-hearted, but then on the field we went, who could not make two passes in a row. This does him credit, but we know very well that the faults were certainly not all his" continued the former Sassuolo man.
"The match with Israel è very important. We have to continue to be first in the group hoping that France and Belgium can draw. The three points would allow us to make reasoning that was not contemplated at the beginning of the competition. It's a good team with quality, we will have to be good at keeping the result because in the first match from this point of view we were not very good. We need to improve in the management of the lead, we are a young team and probably every now and then we are also putting a ball up without making complicated exits from the bottom" added the Inter midfielder.
"The World Cup does not have to be an obsession, but è it is our priority because we cannot afford to miss it again. We are taking the Nations League really seriously because itè then it affects the bands at the draws. We will do everything to finish first in the group, so that we will have an easier group, but in general we cannot make mistakes" concluded Davide Frattesi.
