Italy can become a great team if they play at their best, Coach Luciano Spalletti said on Wednesday, ahead of a game against Belgium which he described as crucial for their hopes of progress in the Nations League.
Italy, top of Group Two after winning both matches last month, host Israel on Monday. Belgium are level on three points with second-placed France and Israel are bottom on zero.
“We will immediately become a great team in every match where we will be able to give the best of ourselves,” Spalletti told a news conference.
“It is a crucial match for our future,” Spalletti said, adding that AS Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini would be in the starting lineup.
Italy will be without injured Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo along with Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa who is unwell.
