Vincenzo Montella praised Turkey's attitude despite a 3-1 Nations League defeat by Italy, SGGP reported. Gianluca Scamacca put Italy ahead before Aral Simsir equalised, but goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Pio Esposito decided the contest. Montella pointed to decisions at key moments and defending inside the penalty area as areas that cost his side. Turkey has lost four successive matches in the competition. The coach nevertheless said there were aspects of the performance to build on as the team seeks to turn improved passages of play into better results.
