On the eve of Italy's last friendly test before Euro 2024, Luciano Spalletti spoke at the press conference announcing some news for the match against Bosnia Herzegovina. The Azzurri's coach spoke about the situation linked to Nicolò Barella, but also about the choice to start Fagioli tomorrow alongside Jorginho. These are the words of the national team coach.
“We were optimistic from the first moment about Barella. He has always been under control, when there is fatigue there is always a bit of waiting to see how the situation evolves. I never took into consideration the idea of field him against Bosnia, but against Albania he will be there. Tomorrow I expect to put into practice the analysis we did after the last match, so I think I expect them to do better. Scamacca will play in attack. I liked Fagioli's performance and tomorrow he will play together with Jorginho.”
“The goal of the podium at the European Championship? There will never be a position of tranquility because we are Italy, so we have to aspire to a lot. Surely the best thing is not to tell these guys that the only possibility is to win the European Championship. When When I arrived there was still an important open wound. We are going to the European Championships, we won in 2021 but we started from not qualifying for the World Cup. We don't want to be our own hackers, we are working seriously.”
