The AS Roma striker has revealed that his feelings were high on his debut game for the Italy national team; also shares his thoughts on the Rome derby.
The AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 prodigy was all set to play for the Italy U-21 team, who had travelled to France for their friendly against the French U-21 team. However, he got promoted to the senior squad and was called from
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 squad to play against USA.
Gli Azzurri suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of USA at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday, February 29.
Borini made his senior team debut for Italy, coming off the bench in place of Juventus striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 youth spoke of his disappointment
on the result, mentioning that it was not easy to make an impact coming off the bench, he commented:
“It was very emotional for me and I gave my all, so it was a shame not to score a goal. It’s not easy to get into the game as a substitute.”
Borini added that it does not matter to him if he is not the physically strongest player on the field, as he has seen his national teammate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724, “do great things” without that asset. The striker
is willing to play in any position his manager wants him in. He added:
“My favoured role depends on the system. I certainly don’t mind playing wide, as I can attack the space behind the full-back, so any position is fine for me.”
Taking his focus from the international front to the Serie A, the attacker feels that the upcoming derby against SS Lazio will be a new experience for him.
The striker added that he has never played in a derby match, but he feels that the Rome derby is different to rest of them across the world.
“In London it’s not really as important as a Rome derby, as there are so many London teams that they all seem the same!”
Roma will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 in matchday 26 encounter of the Serie A on Sunday, March 4.
