00:00It's clear that the transfers are especially from that period where there were direct eliminations,

00:09the champions of that nation, difficult conditions, very good teams.

00:16But we, paradoxically, found stimuli, pressures, all positive elements to make great games.

00:27I remember that the slightly difficult conditions charged us.

00:31Then we knew that at home everything would have been simpler.

00:35But it was a challenge, it was a challenge for us to silence the public at home.

00:43These types of demonstrations do nothing but confirm the fact that when you do your job well,

00:48that when you collect what you sow during the week,

00:52you are rewarded for the attitude of those who paradoxically could be your opponents.

00:59Because even the recognition of the opponents on the field was extraordinary.

01:04It is clear that when you go out to applaud the audience after playing ten,

01:08it is clear that after the end they understand the commitment you have put in,

01:12the quality of the team, morals and above all physics.

01:16I think there are certain teams that every child would like to face in becoming a footballer.

01:22And when you have the opportunity to face certain teams,

01:25I think Milan, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City in this period,

01:29I think that in a sense you can only enjoy playing in certain stadiums and facing certain teams.

01:35We have been at the top of the European championships for 20 years.

01:43So, in a sense, these are all manifestations of what we have sown.

01:47And this can only give us satisfaction.

01:54I think that the news, in a sense, gives a little bit of enthusiasm.

01:57By changing things a little bit, I think there is a different energy.

02:02In the past years, after three or four games,

02:05the rounds were practically…

02:08I would say that half of them were practically acquired results.

02:12So, the last two games did not show that energy, that concentration.

02:18So, you know that until the end, you have to get to the end.

02:22Because the criteria to get ahead are, of course, the points,

02:26but then it becomes the goals, the goals on the way.

02:28So, it becomes a new challenge.

02:31New challenges, in my opinion, always bring some good motivation.
