When quizzed about the result against the Three Lions, the Giallorossi striker was disappointed in the result as it was his debut and he went on to state that he had given his all and did what the head coach wanted off him.
He reflected on his debut and stated that there was always an air of expectation surrounding such a momentous occasion. However, he went ahead to comment that when one stepped on the field of play, the jitters and the nervousness faded away. He remarked
that they would work on improving the next time they face off any opposition, and mentioned:
“Making your debut is always exciting, but as soon as you get on the field you have to focus only on playing your game. It’s a shame about the result, but we will work even harder next time.”
When quizzed about the chance that came his way, he went on to state that his colleagues understand that it is in his instinct to do so, and commented:
“Unfortunately I only looked at the goal and not at my teammates, so I went for it. When a striker is there he tends to go for goal himself, which is a defect of the centre-forward. It’s true there were two of my teammates clear, but they understood I was
going to go for it from there.”
Italy lost 2-1 on the night against Roy Hodgson’s men.
