"I saw an intensity during training that we didn't have last time," Spalletti said. "Perhaps the players' physical shape had a role. The season has just started, and there is new enthusiasm. The other time, it was the end [of the season], and there had been things that perhaps led some to switch off."
"They bounced back tonight. Regardless of how this game went, we would have continued playing forever. It's in the DNA of this group I've chosen for the Nations League and the World Cup qualifiers."
"Three, four or five players have stayed home this time, but generally we are convinced that this group can give us so much."
