Digne says they are unified in their mindset as France 'don't want to lose twice' to Italy
-
France will be out to avenge their defeat from earlier in 2024 when they take on Italy in a Nations League clash at the San Siro in Milan on Nov 17, defender Lucas Digne said.
Italy secured a 3-1 comeback win at the Parc des Princes in Paris when the teams met in September in Group A2's opening game.
Luciano Spalletti's Italy top the group with 13 points from five games, three ahead of second-placed France, who played out a lacklustre 0-0 draw with Israel on Nov 14.
Both teams have already sealed their spots in the quarter-finals scheduled for March.
"There's definitely a spirit of sporting revenge in the group. When you lose to someone, you don't want to lose twice, that's a must, and I think that's the spirit everyone will be in," Digne told reporters on Nov 15.
"That said, they have a very good cohesion, they have a very good squad, a very good coach who I know from my time at Roma, and he's a great tactician, a great man. So it will be up to us to prepare as well as we can and work on the little details that we're lacking at the moment."
