Spalletti said: “But I don’t ask for anything, I liked this group when I imagined it, I believed I could do some excellent things and, while we did some analysis with the team on our path, we understood that there would be we need a few more steps to do what we said we don’t have this time and therefore we need to take the shortcut, be ready, because these are the matches that make your story big or small.”
