The head coach of the Italian national team, Luciano Spalletti, commented on the course of events in today's Euro-2024 selection match against our national team (2:1).

"We should be happy, because it is not always possible to prevent the attacking actions of the opponent. We gave Ukraine only two chances in the first half and two counterattacks in the second. I can't complain - the team played well.

In the last minutes, the opponent threw more players into the attack, because a defeat with a greater goal difference would not change much for him. However, we needed to do better and score the third and fourth goals." UEFA Spalletti's UEFA website.
