“I think [against Spain] they were really in trouble.”
The former Manchester United boss thought Mancini’s team were cut red handed as they were felt the Italy boss was disappointed with their first half display.
“Everyone was thinking about [Alvaro] Morata playing as the main striker, or starting [Mikel] Oyarzabal as a striker.
