Coach Luciano Spalletti responded with extreme anger to what he considered “poison coming from all sides,” after the Italian team, the defending champion, qualified for the 16th round of the European Cup final with a 1-1 draw with its Croatian counterpart in Leipzig, considering that his team “deserved” the passage. For the second group, which witnessed a third victory for Spain.
Italy has reserved its place in the quarter-finals, as Italy will meet Switzerland in the quarter-finals next Saturday.
Spalletti said: “Everyone is trying to get us out (of the continental finals). If I was afraid, I would have taken another job. There is no point in being afraid. “I don’t want to be too anxious or put more pressure on my shoulders than people are putting on me.”
