Italy reborn, Soncin moved, “It’s not women’s soccer”
It's Italy è reborn, Soncin moved: "Not è women's football"
L'Italia women's soccer è reborn: the Azzurre under the orders of Andrea Soncin after beating Spain reached an unhoped-for second place in their Nations League group thanks to a victory over Switzerland (3-0 with goals by Giugliano, Salvai and Caruso), which allowed them to undermine the more highly-rated Sweden and finish in second place right behind the Iberians.
A result that relaunches the whole movement and moves Andrea Soncin, who was teary-eyed at RAI microphones after the victory: "Would I have thought I would get so excited about women’s soccer? No, but not è women’s soccer. È soccer".
"I have believed in it since I first met these girls. With this group we è created a continuous exchange of emotions, strong bonds that come before any technical and tactical".
"Tonight the enthusiasm of the fans here in Parma showed that we can give great emotions. The balance so far centered è excellent, what the girls are doing something extraordinary, and we are working to make it ordinary: these performances give the weight of what the girls can do. Wearing the blue jersey we have a great responsibility; and victories and performances can bring people closer to the stadium".
