Claudio Gentilethe last coach who triumphed at the European Championship on the bench of the Italian U21 national team spoke about the senior team in an interview with the publication La Gazetta dello Sport: “According to the results, we look like a second-tier team, but this is not the case. It was only Spalletti’s first match, it takes time, unfortunately, Ukraine is right there. But we are going to the European Championship, otherwise it would be the end. Except, that we need to get used to a different type of football. Matches like the ones against Macedonia, a modest but demanding team, on an impossible pitch, must be won without playing well. The horizon is three points. Victory even if you don’t deserve it, but that’s how you grow.”
