Luciano Spalletti admits his failure “” We have no alibi. I was wrong the selection! ” + And his players are self -criticism

The tormented victory of the “Mapi Stadium”, Sassuolo's land, brought the first three points for Italy in the qualification group in the US, Mexico and Canada from the year, but could not at all blur the miserable image of the quadruple champion of the world.

The damage was already done by humility, as a result, but especially as a game, suffered in Oslo, 0-3 with Norway, which dramatically reduced the chances of Squedra Azzurra to win the series and Avoid the emotions of the play-off and the nightmare of a third consecutive missed presence at the final tournament. In the semifinals of the dam, there is a significant probability that Romania will visit Italy!

Wash: “If you see that they are tired, you have to change them!”

In the twelfth hour, Luciano Spalletti has found the power to recognize their defeat: “Anyone who train the national team cannot have alibi because if he sees that players are tired, they must change.

I was convinced that I could give me what I was expecting, but it wasn't! On the other hand, the fact that we played in Oslo after such a long championship has certainly affected us, as did the emotional load that the match offered us. “

The coach who will give up his place has explained: “However, these weights should be sought in the excessive requests to which the players are subjected. We have struggled in this final part of the season.

24The matches had Luciano Spalletti at the national team. Former champion with Naples ticked 12 wins and six draws and defeats, goal 40-29

Probably if I had chosen other physically better players, we would have obtained a different answer. But if from 25 so many had difficulties, maybe because they suffered because of the championship duration.

Spalletti wanted to face Norway in September!

It becomes hard if you have no muscles or feet. Tonali always resists, has an almost African tone, but he also gets tired. Almost everyone. I think I made some wrong choices and probably had bad luck that I played with Norway at the group's debut.

It's easy to be a coach of a national team. You can take and do what you want. Obviously, many will depend on who he will be chosen, but I do not leave much enthusiasm behind. Even though the audience had done this evening and reacted positively in spite of the situation

If we were playing with two of the most accessible opponents now and then I would go to Oslo in September, it would have been different. That being said, I didn't train well. But these are insignificant details. “

“And we take responsibility for what happened.”

And the players left their heads and admitted that the team looks bad and disappointed everyone. “It is not as easy as it seems to scroll many goals, even against a team like Moldova. Of course, wearing this shirt asks for more and we have to do more. I think it is our failure, of all, not just Mister's! ”said Giacomo Raspadori, the author of the score of the score last night.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the fresh champion of Europe with PSG, was placed on the same autocritical line: “There were no easy days, the truth is that the coach was worth finishing with a victory.

The coach gave us everything and this time, it was the confirmation that it was an extraordinary person. After the euro there were a few peak moments, but we could not find the balance and from here on the biggest regrets. We also take responsibility for what happened

It is a great disappointment that it will not be our coach. We could have done more, in the last matches the attitude was wrong which, when you wear the national team's shirt, can never be missing. “
