An important double checks the Italians.

As part of the 3rd round of Euro 2024, the Italian team will play the final match in the fight for reaching the 1/8 finals of the tournament with the national team of Croatia. Squadri Azzurri central manager Alessandro Bastoni gave a pre-match press conference.

" If you lose, you can lower your head or find a solution and try to correct the situation. Luckily, football gives you another chance again.

I don’t like the word “fear” when talking about football. Fear of getting to know what's important, football. We marveled at the group of Croatians and Spain, and they created a lot of chances, even if they lost. We have great respect for them - they have players who have played over 80 matches for the national team.

In today's football, you never play in the same role or in the same position. It’s not important for me, as we play - even though we’re playing. I think the main thing is to help the team with decisive actions and work harder for it,” said Bastoni.

The match Croatia - Italy will take place today, 24 cherven, starting at 22:00. On Football. ua there will be an online broadcast.

Before the rest of the round, Italy sits in another place with three points, Croatia remains with one point.
