Gravina Sue Spalletti: “A multi-year project”
“We also spoke with the coach, I’m very practical and you can’t think of abandoning a multi-year project after just a few months. Something also has to change in terms of approach. We all have to grow. When in the fall, you have to rise with the strength of the project and the work, and I I deal with such problems, and I do not run away from responsibilities, but we separate the political from the technical, otherwise we risk exploiting the technical part to attack the political side at this moment. For my part, we cannot think of doing actions that could cause worse damage. We have committed some actions in the past. We still talk about the difficulties today, but we face them in multiple ways.

Gravina: “Sorry, we are all responsible”
“I thank those who contributed greatly to this event, and I point out all our collaborators who made everything necessary for the team and the technical part available. The attendance of around 40 thousand here at Casa Azzurri is a positive sign. Especially today, a lot of emotions and reflections after yesterday We regret that we were not able to give the Italian fans the joy they deserve. We are sorry for the result. We know that it is subject to many variables that also indicate defeat because we were not able to return everything that was done, and we were not able to respond as we know how to do. This is a disappointment. “The hope that we should all think about last night, the coach, Buffon and the whole team started talking. The boys shared all our responsibilities. We have nothing to hide: we are all responsible.” So said Gabriele Gravina at the press conference.
