After having conquered the Parc des Princes by defeating France, theItalia finds the second away win in a row by beating 2-1 Israel on the neutral pitch of the Bozsik Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. Frattesi and Kean helped the Azzurri fly to first place in the Nations League group; Abu Fani’s goal at the end was useless. At the end of the match, Luciano Spalletti he commented thus to the microphones of Rai the performance offered by the national team this evening.
On victory:
“We did it splendidly, because all the pitfalls we talked about were seen in the first half. They drop back a lot, maybe because of a bit of tiredness you’re not so lucid and it becomes more difficult to find the space and put those balls in there. The fact that they were in order and without ever letting themselves go too much and waiting for the right moment was fundamental. A very mature team, not mature”.
A team that moved very well together:
“Even tonight, from a tactical point of view, they were very good at recognising their positions, also because they are put in the condition to play as they play at the club, as you often say. They know what to do, even with their eyes closed. In fact, in the second half, we saw this phrasing and quality in ball possession much better”.
