On the eve of the semi-final meeting with the Spanish national team of the Confederations Cup, the head coach of the Italian national team, Cesare Prandelli, stated that he considers his team’s opponent to be the favorite. “Sky Sports” informs about this.
“The Spanish national team is in much better shape than us right now. Just look at how they got past the group stage barrier. Undoubtedly, the Spanish are favorites against us. The Spanish national team is the best team in the world in the last 4-5 years, which is practically impossible to beat. No team wants to face them and we have to.
I am sure that we will be able to create problems for the opponent, even without Balotelli, but we should approach such matters calmly. It is clear that the Spaniards will dominate the ball more, so it is necessary to choose the right tactics,” said Prandelli.
Let’s remind that the last time the teams of Italy and Spain met in the final of “Euro-2012”, where the Spaniards won with a big score of 4:0.
