Flop Italia at Euro2024, Collovati: “Spalletti must understand that the problem is not time”

Fulvio Collovatiinterviewed by today’s edition of The morning he spoke about Italy’s elimination from the European Championship and about the technical commissioner Luciano Spalletti who complained about the lack of time available to forge his national team: “You have to realize that – commented the former 1982 world champion defender – one thing It’s another to coach a club. The coach does that. Clubs don’t give you players 10 times a year to experiment. In my time there wasn’t even the Nations League, we played 3 games a year in the national team. Now between qualifiers, friendlies and official matches, Spalletti must understand that the problem is not time.”

There has certainly been a lack of a striker who scored goals.
“If only Pinamonti and Scamacca are among the top 15 scorers in Serie A, it means that that is the material available. In my day they criticized Berazot for leaving Pruzzo and Giordano at home, today you have 3 or 4 in total so the choice is practically obligatory”.

Restarting from football schools?
“We’ve heard it every time after a flop of the national team. Now I don’t believe it anymore. It just isn’t done. Italian football is a type of football where everyone thinks of their own interests.”
