Spalletti: We gave Ukraine only two chances in the first half and two counterattacks in the second

The Italian coach is pleased with his team’s performance

Head coach Italian national team Luciano Spalletti spoke about the match of the sixth round of the Euro 2024 qualifying round against the Ukrainian team (2:1). The mentor was pleased with the performance of his players.

“We should be happy because it is not always possible to make the opponent’s attacking actions impossible. We gave Ukraine only two chances in the first half and two counterattacks in the second. I can’t complain – the team played well.

In the last minutes, the opponents threw more players into the attack because the defeat with a greater goal difference changed things a little for them. However, we needed to do better and score the third and fourth goals,” Spalletti said.

Let us remind you that Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi scored a double for the Italian national team.

After this match, the Italian team scored 7 points and now ranks second in Group C. Scaudra Azzurra is ahead of Ukraine and North Macedonia, having played one match less. In the next match the Italians will play against the Malta team.
