Spalletti on Jorginho: “Now I have the camera on me… But it’s my fault, not his”

What Luciano Spalletti said about his midfielder Jorginho caused discussion during Italy’s defeat against Spain in the second match of the Euro 2024 group stage for the Azzurri. The coach was filmed by television cameras in a heartfelt rebuke against the director, which can be summed up with “you’re useless like that”. Spalletti spoke about it again today in the pre-Croatia press conference.

Said the blue technical commissioner: “He played a sub-level match, but it always depends on what the team did. Now I have the camera pointing at me and it turns out that I told him that thing. But if the team can’t manage the ball, it won’t It’s his fault, it’s my fault. It’s my prediction that didn’t come true because he was put in the middle. He has an incredible quality that no other player has, it’s what tells everyone how they should behave and we do We don’t have many others. We have others who have greater potential and energy than his nature, but when he takes over the team he’s that player, we still focus a lot on him.”
