"It's a dream to be coach at Wembley, but tomorrow is the game where we want to push our limits." These are the words of Luciano Spalletti, interviewed by Sky Sport, on the eve of England-Italy in the European qualifiers. "In these circumstances we have to think about overcoming our limits, and you feel happy to do so," added the Azzurri coach. Wembley was also the embrace of a very important victory, which will remain in the history of the Italian national team, and it is where we must go to take something as indelible as the embrace between Mancini and Vialli." "The true international player sees in this match the possibility of an objective qualification," Spalletti stressed, "and he wants this without thinking about the next challenges. And it is precisely in these circumstances that we have to think about overcoming our limits, and you feel happy to do so. It's not like a strong, international footballer to think that we're going to play in the last game. Tomorrow we will face a team whose strength and history we know. We'll be in their stadium, but that's where you really find an outlet for what I was saying before, our dreams, and not in comfort games, where I can make a good impression."
