Spalletti sets strict rules for his players

In a bid to ensure his players are grounded and focused, Spalletti has set strict guidelines that they must adhere to during the tournament.

EuroFoot reports that Italy stars are banned from using a Playstation and headphones.

The players are also not allowed to use their mobile phones at the massage table and are banned from playing games at midnight.

A section of fans has shared their perspective on the rules, with some claiming that they are harsh and unnecessary.

However, there are those who contend the rules are important in Italy's bid to retain the continental crown.
