“Nobody believed any more, but the players did,” Spalletti told Sky Sport in Italy, before raging at critics in the Italian press pack.In a furious press conference Spalletti said “I inject myself with this venom” which he said was coming “from all sides” and blasted unnamed people within Italy’s camp for potentially leaking his team’s formation to the media.
Modric defied his advancing years by firing Croatia into the lead nine minutes after the break and becoming the oldest goalscorer in Euros history. On Sunday, captain Harry Kane insisted Southgate was the right man to manage England after widespread criticism of his tactics and team selection following two sub-par displays against the Serbs and the Danes.
Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek agreed with Kane, saying his team, who will qualify with a win over England, “are playing against one of the favourites, if not the favourites, for the tournament”.
