Italy U16, Scarpa’s words
“It was a tough match against a strong opponent, which highlighted some of our problems. Considering how much we created, the result is quite heavy, because we could have scored a few more goals: Spain was more cynical than us. High-level matches, like this one, help us grow and understand where to improve”.
