“I think we deserved to score at least a couple of goals tonight. We have to improve that aspect and continue along this path.
“We have to be more incisive in attack, because when we get the chances, we need to score,” the CT told Rai Sport.
“It’s normal after four or five substitutions to struggle, we allowed Ukraine a few chances towards the end, but the performance overall was good.
“Barella had a very good game, especially on his debut, had it easier perhaps than those who made their debuts against Portugal, but it was good.
“Now we have four days to prepare for Poland and will try to give our best.”
