After giving a press conference post the friendly victory against Lyon, Luciano Spalletti spoke to INTER Channel:

“We could have scored more goals, there must be commitment to keep the tactics – distances between each departments (defense, midfield and forward) makes a difference. Today the squad genuinely tried to implement my tactics from my point of view and that is the best outcome I can ask for.”

Lyon ahead in the preparations? “It doesn’t matter, it’s a bad thing to look for excuses. Modern football is no longer seven days of kilometer running, strength is also essential.”

Spalletti then continues, “The Chinese fans deserve all the best. These people appreciate the sport and enjoy the the game. They will be able to have as much entertainment as possible with investors who have been promoting the sport. Pressing works as a team, the best form of defending is by attacking. In the first half we started off badly but we won the ball multiple times as a result of team pressing. If there is a way to recover, it is to take control of the game.”
