“I was expecting a different debut, as we didn’t show in a match situation what we’d been working on in training,” the Coach told Rai Sport.

“In certain moments we tried to build the play, but for the most part we were very different to our usual approach.

“You can have an off day in a prestigious friendly, but this is a competitive match and we’ve got to make sure we learn from this so it never happens again.

“We got stretched out, our passing was off kilter and we lost our shape. We must learn from the errors we made this evening.”
