Belgium coach Marc Wilmots criticised Italy for "not playing real football" after the Azzurri's 2-0 win at the European Championship on Monday.

Goals from Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle allowed Italy to take all three points, but the Belgium boss didn't think much of Italy's tactics.

"Italy specifically played on the counter-attack. They did not play real football and when faced with everyone sitting back, it becomes difficult," Wilmots told reporters.

He later added: "They were pretty much there on the sofa... they were pretty relaxed."
