Donadoni is still upbeat despite loss
11.06.08
Italy coach Roberto Donadoni defended his tactics in the wake of their 3-0 defeat to Holland.
The world champions produced one of their worst performances for years in the Group C match in Berne on Monday, with the defence especially woeful without the injured Fabio Cannavaro.
But Donadoni said: "To say now whether the formation was right or wrong makes no sense. If the reason it was wrong is because we lost then so be it. But it is too simplistic. For me, it was not mistaken. The defeat does not knock my confidence."
