Luciano Spallettitechnical commissioner of the Italian national team, spoke at a press conference at the “Angelo Moratti” sports center to analyze tomorrow’s match against France. This is his assessment in view of the twentieth match at the helm of the Azzurri:
“I don’t know what my balance is, I think I missed a match, the one against Switzerland. That’s the thing I’m referring to, I consider myself responsible for a defeat, so we tried to do different things. It’s about one game, the others, for better or worse, were games like many others, then let’s never forget the opponents we have in front of us. We faced very strong teams.”
What has changed?
“Having the pleasure of rejoicing, seeing your teammate win. At this moment the most important thing is to make people feel that we are appreciating their attachment to the shirt, their spirit and their commitment. It is something that we must recognize, they are enormous qualities , then the result is often a consequence.”
What must he do as coach to forget Switzerland?
“Nothing or anyone makes me forget that defeat, not even qualifying for the World Cup. In some ways it’s also good to carry it with you a little, you have to remember that if you don’t do things right the stone is always around the corner.”
