The technical commissioner Luciano Spalletti spoke from Rome on the sidelines of the presentation of Vivo Azzurro Tv. These are the words collected by TMW: “The Italians in the European finals give us important signals. We followed the championship, we went to see them work on site, I personally learned a lot from my colleagues. These teams that are in the European finals bring us something more and it means that there is something, there is the creation of a style of Italian football. The hard core is there, that of playing in an open field on the counterattacks, but there is also something different as Atalanta and Fiorentina have shown.”
Calls done at 80%. Now we need to focus on the remaining 20%…?
“I’m not good at mathematics… Maybe something less than 20%. The structure is more or less what we have convened recently, then there is something that we have to leave to the skill, the condition of the moment and the having sorted things out. If Scamacca is this, for example, it becomes difficult… Let’s remember that I’m the one who made him play in the fundamental matches, before we qualified. Then Retegui showed that he is a good footballer, I know Raspadori very well. Lucca is growing due to the qualities it has… We still have some potential that can put some things right for us and we need to be careful.”
What are the doubts?
“The doubts are what we said… There is a small percentage. You have to have deep doubts, in some cases there are clear, clean messages regarding what certain kids can make available. Some have yet to make given the pressure they then suffer or some problems that may exist individually. To give the best of ourselves we must feel good in the internal environment and in the external environment”.
