The Italy goalkeeper believes that Wednesday’s defeat against France was of less importance as it was just a friendly game and Azzurri were without several key players for the clash
The Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper was given a rare chance to impress at the international arena in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833, but France ruined his day with an impressive 2-1 victory over Azzurri at Stadio Ennio Tardini, Parma.
However, the 25-year-old custodian feels that the result holds little importance as it was a friendly fixture and his side was without several first-team players.
While talking to reporters, Sirigu stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 played well and they deserve
credit for playing with such intensity and confidence.
The player added that the visitors were brilliant on the break. They caused Italy all kinds of trouble on the counterattack and were rewarded for that in the end.
"It is a defeat but it is nothing serious, it was a friendly. France played well and caused us problems on the counterattack,” the former Palermo goalkeeper told reporters.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Sirigu-c32282 said that Italy are in the process of building a team here, and many youngsters were given a chance last night to impress at this level.
“We are in the process of growing as a team with players who haven't played much at international level.”
Meanwhile, France’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 midfielder
added that playing for the national side is a huge honour and has vowed to improve even further in the future.
“The coach has shown faith in me, the other players too. I don't know if I have scored points tonight, but I am ambitious, I get on well with the coach, he has put me in a position where I have played for OM since the start of the season."
