Italy coach Luciano Spalletti admits their Euro 2024 Group draw could've been better.
Italy will meet Albania, Spain and Croatia in Germany next summer.
It could've gone better, but then we were in Pot 4. And never forget that we are Italy," Spalletti told RAI Sport.
It is difficult to make predictions now, there are many months to go. Albania have certainly proved they are well-organised, while we know a great deal will depend on our form at that moment, the preparation we manage to do going into the competition and how we work together.
Croatia are a strong, experienced side. Some of their players are getting on a bit, but I know some of them are at the top level.
Anyone who loves this sport must enjoy the challenge, otherwise you lose all the pleasure of it.
Within a match there are going to be various moments where the squad has to defend, even with 10 men around the edge of the box if necessary, but the intention is always to play attractive and attacking football."
