Maggio: 'That was a bad night'
Christian Maggio had a hand in two of Russia’s goals and holds his hands up. “That was a really bad night.”
According to Football Italia, the Napoli defender seemed sluggish and lacked communication with his club and Italy goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis in a 3-0 friendly defeat.
“I’ll be honest, that was a really bad night. I hope it was the last and that it won’t happen again.
“We knew this was an important friendly, as it’s the only one before the Euros, so we wanted to do well. At times we did positive things, at times less so, but we must now work in training to improve.
“We have to understand where we went wrong and try to improve so we don’t repeat those errors. Obviously nobody is happy after a defeat, but that is when we try to bring the best out of ourselves to avoid doing them again.”
