Italy, Cristante: “It’s always like this with Spain: they knock you down with dribbling and ball possession”

Bryan Cristante, Italy midfielder, analyzed the 1-0 defeat against Spain on UEFA channels. These are his statements: “They played much better than us, they deserved the victory. We weren’t able to restart because they kept us down. They dominated, but Spain is always like this: they knock you down with dribbling and ball possession. We could have manage some counterattacks better to create opportunities, we didn’t do that and the result rewarded Spain.”
