00:00I think there is a lot of expectation, a lot of pressure because we are a strong team.
00:09I think we are a team that can go all the way and Italy are the champions.
00:16So there is a lot of expectation and a lot of pressure.
00:20We have a lot of responsibility but I think this team is made up of players
00:26but above all by great men who know how to make a group, who know how to suffer together and enjoy together.
00:36So I think we are a national team of great quality that can do well.
00:44We showed it in the first game and in the other two we could have done better from the point of view of quality and courage.
00:54In some circumstances we didn't have the ambition to play when we had to instead of throwing the ball away.
01:09But I think this is a team that can say what it wants, as I said at the beginning with Verciano.
01:16We have to have the ambition to be protagonists in this European Championship.
