What is your analysis of the match? This is one of the questions asked at the press conference Luciano Spallettitechnical commissioner of the national team who at the end of Italy-Belgium 2-2 he responded like this: “There are episodes that sometimes ruin matches. You have to be good at directing these episodes too, even if sometimes – like in this match – it’s not possible. But then the description of the match is the the boys were disappointed at the end of the match for not having won the match, it was clear that they could have brought home a further result and there was a bit of bad luck in the middle, I saw that they were really disappointed and showed this attachment with their displeasure it was the fundamental thing.”
Then in another passage he added: “In my opinion we were good on the pitch even with ten men. At the end of the first half I was in doubt whether to go back to four or stay with the same formation, but I was hoping for another twenty minutes to pass before going back to four so it would be a bit of effort they had done it. In the one against one in the wide spaces it is not easy against them, Belgium 7-8 players who are sprinters on the track as well as on the field”.
