Antonio Conte was “satisfied with the performance” despite a 3-1 friendly defeat to Belgium in Brussels.
“I think we were punished more than we deserved. The equaliser was from a corner, the second goal our mistake. It’s a shame, as we had the right attitude in every way,” the Coach told Rai Sport.
Antonio Candreva had given Italy the lead after just two minutes and 25 seconds, but the result was overturned.

Antonio Candreva had given Italy the lead after just two minutes and 25 seconds, but the result was overturned.
“We were facing a team that is overflowing with talent, but I remain satisfied with the performance of my lads.
“The incidents didn’t go our way, as we hit the bar and missed the rebound, while we made this error of distraction and the game changed.
“We were taking on one of the best teams in the world, among the favourites for Euro 2016. We showed the right attitude and continue our work.
“I had said beforehand, victory or defeat, the result would not change our path. Our ambition is to work hard and get the best out of this squad.”
