Former Italy midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini expected a ‘more solid’ Azzurri group at EURO 2024: ‘They lacked hunger, courage and enthusiasm.’

Ex-Italy midfielder reveals ‘one’ Azzurri regret at EURO 2024
Giaccherini reached the Euro quarter-finals with Italy under Antonio Conte in 2016, and that game was his last international appearance.
Gazzetta asked him on Friday about Italy’s regret after their poor European campaign.
“They didn’t play at their best,” the former Juventus, Bologna and Sunderland winger replied.
“They lacked hunger, courage and enthusiasm. I expected an Italy side technically inferior to other top teams but with a more solid group.”
