Recalling the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spalletti did not hide his disappointment. "I took it terribly hard," said the Italian expert, emphasizing how much the defeat affected him. In an emotional account, he also mentioned the legendary Gennaro Gattuso. "I swear, when the match ended, I thought of Gattuso. He is a man full of emotions, and I wondered how he would have reacted in such a situation, in that stadium, and under that pressure. Honestly, I don't know how I would have behaved," said Spalletti. He added that the whole situation affected him so much that he withdrew from the public eye. "His departure broke me. I didn't have the strength to talk about football; I practically retreated and hid from the disappointment. In such moments, it's hard to remain rational," he admitted. Spalletti also reflected on the perception of the public and the media. "If the result had been 2-0, we would probably be talking completely differently. We need to be more balanced in our assessments and understand that the players carry an enormous burden in such circumstances," he emphasized. Finally, he offered a concrete proposal for the development of young players in Italy, particularly through Serie A. "If every club had to have players under 19 in the team, it would force clubs to invest more in youth development. We at Juventus would have to have several such players, which would open up space for new talents. Four young players per team might sound like a lot, but it's enough for one true talent to emerge, and that already makes a difference," concluded Spalletti.
