After the defeat with Spain, Italy must react and find the strength to defeat or at least not lose to Croatia in the third match of Group B, otherwise the reigning Champions of Europe risk being disqualified from the group stage.
On the eve of the match against the Croatians, the head of the Italian delegation, Gianluigi Buffon , said that the team now needs to regain security on the field, while he expressed his conviction that Croatia will be a different match than Spain.
"For Croatia, it will be another match compared to the one against Spain. We were good at making Albania look like an inferior team. Did you see how much Croatia suffered against Albania? Meanwhile, we also had a lot of difficulties with Spain and they made us look inferior, but we are not. We have the opportunity to enjoy two out of three possible results, but we don't have to think about that on the field. Against Croatia we will do a different kind of performance and I am sure that after the match with the Croatians we will talk differently ", said Buffon .
