An Italy that thinks and trains with the painstaking care that is used in clubs, aware of having the potential to compete with every opponent: this is the mantra that the Italian coach, Luciano Spalletti, repeats for Italy-Malta which will be played at Saint Nicholas of Bari. Over 53 thousand fans pushing Donnarumma and his teammates, removing the clouds of the investigation into Zaniolo and Tonali, without forgetting Chiesa’s forfeit.

The Tuscan coach feels the complexity of the moment and thus reiterates: “I feel very strong, we are very strong. I chose the players I have here. They are very strong athletes, we have extraordinary ambitions”. And he explains the origin of his certainties: “The pitch counts. All the players are doing well in the championships. Here we want to resemble a club during these weeks. We have done a job of the highest quality. We want to get what we deserve on the pitch, through our quality”.

We must not lose ground, explains Spalletti: “Usually there is never another match in which to pick up what we leave. All matches are fundamental, in any competition.” And he focuses everything on the group’s self-esteem: “Being aware of our strength and where we want to go is more important than knowing the strength of Malta or England.” “When we know who we want to be – he adds – these teams will be an obstacle to overcome in order to give joy to those who love us.

Bari responded in an exceptional way to the coming of Italy and we want to thank the public for the warmth they will make us feel.”
