“We want to do well at all costs after the bad match against Spain. We can’t wait to show our real value. We are ready.” Thoughts and words of Alessandro Bastoni, on a day dedicated to the media. The national team defender, as well as in conferences and on various television channels, also spoke on the official UEFA channels.
The Italian champion center back with Inter is asked if he is in contact with his former teammates Brozovic and Perisic: “No, honestly not. It’s not nice to send each other messages before such a decisive match. Obviously we know their points of strength. They have played more than 80 matches together at international level. Having said that, we have planned what we have to do, with and without the ball, we are ready.”
In the conference, Bastoni also spoke about the four-man and three-man defence, which up until now had not yet been used by Spalletti: “Playing with four or three changes, there are different movements, but it depends on the player’s intelligence and availability in knowing how to recognize certain plays in moments that can be decisive. This is the core, more than a four or three-man defense.”
