“I feel great, playing with Di Lorenzo, and from Baston, or with someone else. The trainer asks us to help the team and we try hard.
We are preparing for this match. Italy against Germany is not just another game. This is a very important game. I have a lot of memories: the semi -final of the World Cup or Euro. Even when we did not win, we always gave all our forces. The match will be difficult, but we have a wonderful team.
We start a new cycle and feel good. The team is young, we have a great relationship, and some of us have known each other for a long time. I think the difference compared to the euro will be noticeable on the field. Psychological pressure on the euro was normal. In my opinion, we had a difficult defeat, and the first match against France was crucial. We have improved significantly and tomorrow will be important to see where we are.
Premier League is more intense than series A? I do not want to make a comparison – these are different leagues. In England, teams may be less focused on protecting and more to score one extra goal.
How much did the Champions leagues help grow up? It was my childhood dream, and I put it into reality. It’s an incredible feeling. I prefer to play at the highest level: in the Champions League, Premier League or as a national team.
I do not know exactly what game to wait tomorrow, because both teams have problems with players. This is an important test, and we definitely want to win to go to the final of the League of Nations.
What difficulties do the Germans face when meeting with Italy? I don’t know. Too much has changed in recent years. I really can’t say. They may always have a little arrogance, a sense of superiority, and maybe we turned them to the ground. But every game is different. We remain modest and focus on teaching full, ” – says the words of Kalafiore TMW.
We will remind, the match Italy – Germany will take place tomorrow, March 20, at 9:45 pm behind Kiev.
