Italy, Donnarumma: "C'is the right tension"

Italian national team goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke to Sky on the eve of the World Cup playoff match against Bosnia: “I’m really proud of everything I’ve done with the national team, in these years there have been joys and sorrows, I’ve missed two World Cups but now there is a desire to bring Italy back to where it deserves.”

“Only we know what we went through when we didn’t qualify, we have to start from there to bring Italy back to where it deserves to give a great joy to Italians but also to all of us. We are human beings and this match is felt, we want to go to the World Cup but there is the right tension. We are charged up and we have to think about us and what we can do. We have to approach well and not repeat the mistakes of the first half with Northern Ireland. We have prepared well.”

“We will have to be tough. They will go at 100 per hour and we won’t have to be less than that, they have great champions and very good individuals. We have the right tension, those who will be here of our fans will be with us pushing us.”

To Sky Gattuso spoke this way on the eve of the match: “I think those who play soccer live for nights like this, when there is the tingle of tension it is a good thing. We play so much and we know it, we haven’t participated in two World Cups. We need energy, we will need it tomorrow.”

“The stadium pushes, Bosnia is a real team. I could hear Barbarez saying about the coach, he is not a team that does that. He is a skilled poker player. We know there is no difference between Wales and Bosnia, even the players know that.”
