Inter Milan defender Bastoni says happy playing for Italy coach Spalletti

Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni says he's enjoyed playing for Italy coach Luciano Spalletti.

Bastoni was asked about Spalletti replacing Roberto Mancini last year.

He said: A strong mentality given by the season at Napoli.

He has different ideas from Mancini and he's brought enthusiasm. He made us understand the attachment to the Azzurri jersey, which had almost gone lost."

On winning the Euros, he added: Yes, we believe in it. After all, we weren't favourite in 2021 either."
