From the training camp in Santa Margherita di Pula, the national team coach Roberto Mancini spoke to Sky after morning training. In view of the match against Spain, for the semi-final of the Nations League on Thursday 15th, he addressed the issue of the now imminent Final Four in Holland.

«It's a great achievement to be back in the final phase - said the coach - In the group we had Germany, England and Hungary. We're in the final stage, it's clear that we want to win, like the others, but it won't be easy. We made the choices, unfortunately someone was left out. The guys who are here deserved everyone, unfortunately we had to deliver it before training, not even knowing how the Inter players will arrive. Making a list is always difficult ».

Mancini also spoke of the imminent Champions League final between two teams that he coached: «If you look at the results of recent years, City can start as favourites, but anything can happen in 90 minutes. Inter have good players, they're a solid team, it's not that easy to score goals for them." Meanwhile, tonight is the Conference final between Fiorentina (another team coached by Mancini) and West Ham: « Good luck to Fiorentina and congratulations on the season. The finals are all open, West Ham are an excellent team, but Fiorentina are too. Italian football has improved in recent years, it is clear that we are not like we were 20 years ago, when there were the best in the world in our league . Having reached the three finals is positive, as is the fact that the three teams (Roma, Fiorentina and Inter, ed ) have several Italian players».
