Luciano Spalletti checked before the match against Spain.

Head coach of the Italian national team Luciano Spalletti commented on the upcoming match with Spain as part of another round of the World Cup 2024.

“Sometimes we can attack, and sometimes we can defend ourselves in our own half of the field, but the idea is to gain more from our football.

Spain has become what it is, and its football school is known, because they have always played under the same brand. That's why the stench became so recognizable. They have achieved this, so that one and the same football philosophy could achieve.

We often talk about international football and various philosophies, some more specific, less Italian. To achieve this, you need to follow the Spanish script of the game - again and again strive for the same philosophy.

We want to check ourselves in matches with such top teams as Spain, to understand what level we stand on from the point of view of effectiveness.

Let's gradually move the ball.

I respect that if you give the ball to your opponent, you will be a great team. Sometimes we are forced to dominate. Let's see how good it is.

We have great respect for Spain and their peoples, but we have no reason to respect them better than rightly. It would be a great mercy. We can also steal our groo. It’s amazing what we can earn from this, but we need to talk about it after the match,” Spalletti said.

The match between Italy and Spain will take place today, 20 chernov, starting at 22:00.
