«I now feel fully Italian – declared Christian, who has been in the city since he was 6 years old – but tonight I believe that my spirit of belonging to my land will prevail. I am very attached to Puglia and Italy but in a direct confrontation, alas, one feels a stronger sense of being rooted in one’s origins. In all other circumstances, obviously, I support Italy.”
«I’m rooting for a good draw – said Dëshira, born in Durazzo but from Molfetta by adoption – but I fear that a result like this could make both fans turn up their noses, given that our group is very difficult and in three games we play everything. However, I expect a good match because they are two teams that also know how to entertain despite being quite compact.”
«I can only support Albania – added Agron – because the homeland always remains the one from which we started so long ago. At the same time, we always wish Italy to do well, in fact in 2021 we celebrated the victory of the European Championships together with our Italian friends. We hope to get some great satisfaction this time too, perhaps reaching the round of 16 together.”
«I support both teams – concluded Jasmine – because I don’t know how to choose between the two. For me it’s like asking myself if I love my father or my mother more, impossible. Tonight we’ll be cheering for a good match, then the pitch will give its verdict.”
