"We didn't steal anything, but we really deserved to qualify for the European Championship. It is wrong to use this incident against us without taking into account the performance of our team. The match was difficult because of the pressure. The incident may be controversial, but it's definitely not as clear-cut as many people want to say. I am disappointed," Ansa.it quoted Spalletti as saying.
