THE VIGIL

“Do you intend to change little against France? Yes, the idea is to maintain the structure of the previous match. I am convinced that today we will see a training session where the legs are strong, due to the desire to all be there.” Italy's coach Luciano Spalletti said this in a press conference on the eve of the Nations League match against France.

“I've only seen them in the gym. I always think the same way, sometimes even in our championship there are a lot of games, a lot of injuries, a lot of fatigue. But sometimes the fatigue is mental, they have muscles that are machines. And when they manage to play good games and perform well, the fatigue is quickly eliminated. Usually the many injured players are on teams in difficulty, it becomes easier to cause muscle problems” he added.

“It's possible that Kean is part of the game – the conclusion -, he's in great condition, he's good at attacking in wide spaces, he's good at making the mark. He seemed to me to be in the group of those who had taken over well”.

“That defeat against Switzerland won't make me forget anything, not even qualifying for the World Cup. It's something that in some ways it's also good to carry with you. But if it hasn't influenced us in terms of how we started, it's difficult for it to disturb us in the future But it is there to remind us that if we don't do the right things, a stone will always be thrown around the corner, but we can avoid relapses.” “It will be my twentieth match. I think I only made a mistake in one match, the one against Switzerland at the European Championships. That is certainly the thing I refer to and carry with me, because that's how I am and I consider myself very responsible for that defeat. We tried to do different things and for the moment we chose something correctly. But all this failure refers to one match, you can tell us anything about that match, but it's just one match, the others were matches like many others.” .
