Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto was excited for tomorrow’s Euro 2020 semi-finals between Italy and Spain.
Speaking in an interview with Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, the 28-year-old Spanish midfielder looked ahead to tomorrow evening’s match between the Azzurri and Luis Enrique’s side.
What a great match. These are two teams that play football the way I like to, I don’t know who will win. It’s an open game, there’s no favourite.
The Spaniard thought that tomorrow’s game would be won or lost in the midfield.
The Azzurri are strong, they have a very good midfield, but so do we. I’m sure that’s where the challenge will be.
Finally, Luis Alberto suggested that the winner of tomorrow’s match would go on to win the final on Sunday.
And I’m convinced that whoever gets through and goes to the final will win this European Championship.
