The journey will begin on Saturday eveningItaly to Euro 2024, with the Azzurri facing Albania. Two days after the debut Federico Chiesa he spoke about the journey he is about to face together with his teammates starting from the goal in the semi-final against Spain in Euro 2021: “The emotions that that network brings to the surface are magnificent because it was a really hard-fought match – he declared to UEFA channels. But now we have to start a new tournament with new challenges, we have a tough group and we have to think about that“. It will be a revolutionized national team compared to that of three years ago, with several players who are no longer part of the blue group: “Chiellini and Bonucci were absolute champions, but I saw that there are future champions in our team. The qualities are there in every department, we are a good group, a good national teamwe will try to propose our football and go as far as possible.”

“Seeing all these people gives us an extra boost”
Then Chiesa commented on Spalletti’s requests in the development of the game: “It’s not really an Italian mentality, let’s say so. But in recent years also the Italian national teamfirst with Mancini and then with Spalletti, is following this path of imposing its own game and to keep the ball to have more opportunities and risk less in the defensive phase.” The Juventus player also spoke about his journey: “After Euro 2021 I could have reached the top of footballthen unfortunately I tore my cruciate and had a long rehabilitation process. My goal is always to return to the top, I’m 26 years old and there is time. In this European Championship I would like to show again what I’m made of. Spalletti’s comparison with Sinner pleased me but his is a single sport and being number 1 there is something incredible, I don’t know him but he seems like a good guy with a good head on his shoulders.” In closing, a joke about the fans and the final goal: “Seeing all these people following us makes us happy and gives us extra energy, 3 years ago it was not possible due to Covid. As I said previously we want to demonstrate our value in this European Championship. There were doubts in the first one too and we won, Let’s see where we can get to this and then the goal will be to return to playing in a World Cup“.
