Alarm returned for the two Nicolò, Barella and Fagioli. In today's training session of the Azzurri in Iserlohn, Italy's headquarters at Euro 2024, they all entered the field regularly and among them were both the Inter and Juventus midfielder in the group.
There was expectation, two days before the Euro 2024 debut match with Albania, to understand their conditions as well as that of Frattesi, who byò had already returned to the group yesterday.
"We want to prove our worth, just like in the last European Championship that we then won. After that we will have to try to return to play a World Cup after the last two missed qualifiers". Word from Federico Chiesa to the Uefa website ahead of the start of Euro 2024.
“This è something that for our people, for the Italian football movement, is not good. Scamacca? I get along well with him and we talk often even off the field. The doubts that there are now about the team there'were also last European".
"Our group – adds the blue striker – è really tough becauseé after Albania we will have Spain and Croatia and we know what it means to play against them. Now forò let's focus on Albania, which knows us and knows what Italian soccer means: it will be a really tough challenge and we will have to be very concentrated".
"With Juve – indicates Chiesa – I used to play more inside the field, mister Spalletti is letting me vary moreù. After Euro 2020 the rise was to try to be among the top of soccer, then unfortunately I broke my ACL and had a long rehabilitation, but my goal è always to be back among the top. I am still 26 years old, time is there è and I want to show what I am made of”.
“At the last European Championship I scored in the semifinal against Spain and the emotions for that wonderful goal I still carry inside me. Now we start a new tournament, with new challenges and a tough round – we have to think only about that. We no longer have two champions like Chiellini and Bonucci, but in our team there are future absolute champions. We are a good group – reiterates the Juventus player – a good national team and we will try to show the soccer that the coach wants and to go as far as possible”.
“The comparison with Sinner pleased me but he plays an individual sport: è a little bit' different to be number 1 lì è an incredible thing. Tennis è a sport I admire so much and Sinner, seen from the outside, seems like a good guy, with a head on his shoulders who only had one thing on his mind, to be first. He did it and he should be congratulated. Morata? Unfortunately, we don't talk to each other anymore; but when we played together at Juve we were good together. He è a great person, and a top player".
