Berlin: Italy coach Luciano Spalletti expects his team will improve their performance level against Switzerland in the Euro 2024 last 16 on Saturday, after the holders limped painfully through the group phase.
The Azzurri needed a last-gasp strike by Lazio winger Mattia Zaccagni to snatch a 1-1 draw with Croatia on Monday to send them through in second place behind Group B winners Spain.
"We need to realise that we can't afford to switch off as we did at certain times in games that we have played so far," Spalletti told reporters on Friday.
"The fact we're now into the heart of the competition, now that we've made it through the group, gives you the level you need to consistently demonstrate, as there is no alternative.
"From a psychological perspective, in terms of personality I do expect a bit more than what we've shown so far."
