If you watch the game carefully. None of those players wanted to play for him. You know why? Because he chose and stuck to players that he...
He needs to go. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but any coach who tries to shoehorn players into a system rather than developing a system...
It was a disgraceful performance. Spalletti is too much talk and philosophy, and too little grinta. When things are not working out, you simplify...
Yes, we have been playing badly. But the importance of this game could not be overstated. I think this is the game where we start believing in...

This is Croatia. Even the golden era of the Azzurri struggled against them. When we won the WC in 2006 we were almost eliminated by Australia. We...
That was just brutal. To eliminate Croatia on the last minute. Calafiori was a beast and so was Donnarumma. That Zaccagni goal was ice in his...

I also believe that the players were made to play 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1. I don't agree with his Napoli system given our players as you correctly...
I think he is convinced that it is a fitness issue because once he subbed in Retegui and he started pressing the Spanish backline, Italy got some...
I must disagree here. Croatia does not play at the same pace like Spain. We need to take the initiative and control the game here.
