“Conte to Napoli? He arrives at a delicate moment after last season, but knowing him – and after he was out of action for a while – I believe he will turn the situation around and give satisfaction to all the fans”. Andrea Barzagli promotes the new Neapolitan course, on the sidelines of the “PlanetOn” event organized by Operation Nostalgia and the Planetwin365.news portal. And it is precisely on Italy that the 2006 world champion has his say after the defeat against Spain. “A shame, but now it’s time to think about the next match – he says, after watching the match in the company of two fans chosen from the ON and Planet community – It’s true, the other national teams have really strong players, but we also certainly have interesting guys and I don’t see why we can’t play for it.”.
Barzagli’s words on Calafiori
Barzagli spends nice words for Riccardo Calafioriwhich rose to prominence at the start of Euro 2024 but was yesterday the protagonist of the unfortunate own goal which decided the victory of the Red Furies: “He is a player with great personality and an important future – he adds – He, Bastoni, Buongiorno, confirm that Italy has great players and historically also great defenders”. As world champion in Germany, the former Juventus player remembers a moment in particular before the final: “When we entered the pitch to warm up and I saw the Cup. There I returned to all the dreams I had as a child”. Among the titles that left him most satisfied there were also some surprises: “The one with Rondinella, in the Amateur championship, first championship and first experience, with final promotion among the professionals. And then the year with Ascoli in Serie C, it was 2001/2002, when we obtained promotion to Serie B The other titles that came later were certainly more important, but I started with these.”.
