The technical commissioner of Italy Luciano Spalletti he spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match against Belgium in the Nations League. This is his thoughts on the growth of the national team after the European Championship:
In the first leg Italy played aggressively. Will you play for a draw tomorrow?
“No, changing the mentality of the players at this moment would be dangerous. So we will try to repeat what the team did in these Nations League matches. The attitude was perfect and we will try to follow up on this behaviour.”
Is the module change the only reason behind the change in results compared to the European Championship?
“We have the possibility of being as clear as possible, of choosing players who have exceptional motivations, that there is a desire to receive great pleasure from wearing this shirt regardless of whether you go on the pitch or not. I have I tried to make correct choices based on my experiences and knowledge. You underlined it well: my behavior was probably not correct for the quality options I had available, both in the choices of elements and in the type of materials. management that I had done. Then the boys put their best foot forward. Now there are different behaviors, there are few fixed positions on the pitch. It’s increasingly difficult to be a team and show off their qualities, they know how to do it well.”
