On the eve of Spain – Italy of Euro2024, at the press conference the blue midfielder intervened Michael Folorunsho. Below are his words.
WORDS– «We are preparing for the match very well, we are working hard and we are putting everything into being ready for the match. If I play I don’t know, you have to ask the coach, I’m available and it’s already an honor to be here ».
PLAY OFF WITH BARI– «A year ago it was unthinkable, I could never believe I would find myself here a year later playing a European Championship with the national team. I believe that work is the basis of everything, I have never stopped dreaming but now that I have reached certain levels I have to work even harder. I know I have to work a lot, I’m behind some of my teammates, this is a starting point for me ».
MATCH WITH SPAIN– «As I already said, I would also play her in goal… The important thing is to make a contribution to the team, I will be ready in any area of the pitch. Then the coach will be able to place me in the right area if he thinks I can help the team ».
PATH TO THE EUROPEANS– «Every footballer has to face his own path and I have done mine, I wouldn’t change it for anyone else’s. Simply at first many people thought I wasn’t ready: I accepted that decision and continued working. Now I feel ready to face certain challenges that I previously thought were too big. The dedication goes to my mother and my family. At 26 I faced my first year in Serie A: many get there first, but there are also those who get there later. Everyone has their own path »
