Italy's head coach Luciano Spalletti said what he expects from the Euro 2024 qualifying match against North Macedonia, which will be held today in Rome.
"It is very difficult to play with the national team of Northern Macedonia. This team after every interception of the ball immediately tries to conduct a sudden vertical attack. Such "turnovers" are the main weapon of the Macedonian national team. So we must be constantly on guard and constantly ready for such actions of the opponent.
The value of this match is so high that only the result is important for us. We need to go out on the pitch and win at any cost," Spalletti said at the pre-match press conference.
