Spaletti: I will communicate with the Italian Football Association president, he can do whatever he wants
Regarding this game, we need to analyze the reasons for the loss tonight. We are not determined enough and are a little too weak. In the opponent's first goal, when we had the opportunity to choose a closer pass, we chose to transfer the ball, but we lost the ball rights. We could have done better on defense, we lost too many times in the offensive area, Italy was supposed to pass the ball more to the fullback, but we kept pushing the ball into the middle and we performed below normal levels.
Regarding how the Italian team should improve
We need more enthusiasm, we have to make a change, and the Italian team is the best team I can have at the moment. I will defend my players, but I will also say something to people who can’t play at their best.
Do you feel that you were "abandoned" by the media and the Italian Football Association before the game? Especially with so many players quit the team...
If anything drives me crazy, it is that someone hints that they want to come and save me because I can't save myself. I have experienced thousands of situations, and even more. When you choose to be the head coach of the Italian team, you are the person in charge. If there is any problem with the Italian team, everything is my responsibility. Of course, from now on, I also need to make some changes, and if our team doesn’t show enough, it shows that I’m a coach who lacks the level.
You said you would communicate with Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina, what are you referring to?
He gave me the opportunity to be the head coach of the Italian team and I will always be grateful to him, but he can do whatever he wants, I need to think about the next game now, and I will talk to Gravina after that.
Will you continue to use the 3-5-2 formation in the match against Moldova next Monday?
Yes, but obviously we will change some players.
Is it possible that the Italian team will not be able to win the first place in this group and need to play in the playoffs again?
After tonight's game, this is completely possible, and we must go all out later to ensure we don't make mistakes and strive to regain the first place in the group.
