Montolivo: Prandelli criticism excessive after game against Armenia
Italian midfielder Riccardo Montolivo has defended coach Cesare Prandelli after criticism of his side’s 3-1 win over Armenia on Friday, according to Soccer News.
“Yes, everyone agrees with Prandelli, the criticism was excessive after the game against Armenia,” he said.
“My personal feeling, right after the match, was that we had put in a good performance. We made some mistakes and gave too much to our opponents, but if we consider our overall performance I think it was a good performance, very good.
“If we win against Denmark it will definitely show a strong start to our group, which is much more balanced and difficult compared to the European Championship qualifying, but winning at home and reaching 10 points will put us in an excellent position.”
