Squadra Azzurra’s head coach commented on the result of the match against Ukraine in Leverkusen.
Ukraine created a lot of problems for Italy in the last Euro 2024 qualification match. Squadra Azzurra head coach Luciano Spalletti admitted this after the match in Leverkusen.
Moreover, he expressed satisfaction with the accomplished task of reaching the final stage of the tournament.
“I heard a lot of talk that Italy qualified for the Euros, but there was fear. Maybe it was because of the start of the tournament. Maybe. But I took this job to bring the team to the European Championships. And I did it.
I liked the way we moved the ball in the game with Ukraine. Ukraine did a great job and this match was completely different from our previous victory against North Macedonia.
It was not easy. It is impossible to qualify for the European Championships. As in general, nothing is easy in football.
We played well, in the first half we had many opportunities to score. After we failed to implement them, the game became more chaotic and physically expensive. At that stage we were no longer talking about football.
Ukraine has shown that it is a well-prepared team. He really created a lot of problems for us,” the UAF website quoted Spalletti as saying.
Earlier, the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Sergei Rebrov, commented on the result of the match against Italy.
