Leonardo Bonucci described the tactical change that allowed Portugal to neutralise Italy and referred to San Siro boo boys as “idiots.”

The Azzurri dominated the first hour of the Nations League match, but could not go beyond a 0-0 draw.

“We tried our best, with a great first half performance and two or three chances that could’ve allowed us to break through,” the defender told Rai Sport.

Leonardo Bonucci described the tactical change that allowed Portugal to neutralise Italy and referred to San Siro boo boys as “idiots.”

The Azzurri dominated the first hour of the Nations League match, but could not go beyond a 0-0 draw.

“We tried our best, with a great first half performance and two or three chances that could’ve allowed us to break through,” the defender told Rai Sport.

“After the break, Portugal changed a few things tactically and managed to block off our creative centres. Bernardo Silva closed up on Marco Verratti and Jorginho, but we still managed to pass our way towards goal and just need to be more determined in attack.”

Bonucci was jeered at his every touch by the Milan supporters at San Siro, who took this Italy game as an opportunity to protest his move back to Juventus.

“There are always idiots out there. I have the confidence of my teammates and the Coach, so that’s all that matters.”
