“It could have gone better: it’s a difficult group, but we have to face this European Championship with the awareness that we are Italy. A lot will depend on how we arrive in June, on our mental and physical condition,” said Luciano Spalletti, Italy coach, commenting via Rai microphones on the draw against Spain, Croatia and Albania at Euro 2024. “We have to in certain moments defend, but the idea is always to propose attacking football: and that Vialli protects us,” concluded Spalletti.
The Azzurri’s first game will take place on June 15th in Dortmund between Italy and Albania. Italy will then face Spain in Gelsenkirchen on June 20th and conclude the group against Croatia on June 24th in Leipzig.
