In the spirit of respect for the opponent, coach Roberto Mancini paid tribute to Spain and coach Enrique before the semi-final.
Coach Mancini is very cautious when he meets Spain in the semi-finals
EURO 2020 semi-finals will officially open tonight with a very watchable battle between Italy and Spain. Compared to the opponent, Italy is rated better after a very convincing performance, including an impressive victory over Belgium in the quarter-finals.
But in the opinion of coach Roberto Mancini, there is no easy challenge for the Italian team at EURO 2020. Caution is what coach Mancio showed in his pre-match press conference.
“Many people think Italy has reached the final. I hope they have the right feeling but things are not easy. We need a great performance. Remember Spain is a strong team. This is a semi-final. So everything is not easy,” coach Mancini cautioned.
In addition, the head coach of the Spain team gave praises to Luis Enrique. He highly appreciated the talent of this coach after what he showed at Barcelona.
“It will be a difficult match. Spain is very different from Belgium but we will still face many difficulties. We had a difficult time against Austria because of their physical style of play and also because it was the first match. first in the knockout round.
Spain has been a strong team for many years. They have many bright young talents and excellent coaches. Luis Enrique won the Champions League with Barcelona but not only that. His Roma in the past have also been very impressive. Daniele (De Rossi) talked to me about Luis Enrique but he changed a lot. This game is a little different. Spain deserves to be here,” Mancini commented on the Spain team before the semi-final.
In addition, coach Mancini thinks there is an injustice to both Spain and Italy when both teams have few fans present at Wembley tonight. According to the schedule, the match will take place at 02:00 am on 7/7.
