The Italy midfielder, Jorginhoprotagonist on the pitch in his European Championship debut against Albania, gave an interview to I live Bluestarting from last Saturday’s match: “The debut match against Albania was positive. We played it well, keeping possession of the ball a lot and being patient. It wasn’t easy: when you go one goal down after a few seconds from the start we were good at keeping calm and doing the things we had prepared.”
Now the challenge against Spain, scheduled for Thursday: “I have good memories of Spain (smiles, ed.): it was a very difficult match, but it ended with a special moment for me, which I will remember forever. That penalty against Spain still gives me shivers. We will try to prepare as best we can for the match in these three days, to win this one too. We need high intensity. We will face two teams that want to have the ball: we will have to base the match on our qualities and not on their weaknesses. Spalletti wants to play good football and do it turn the ball over.”
Finally, a thought for the Italian fans in Germany: “The affection of our people is incredible. We ask our fans to continue like this: the effect is positive and helps us a lot, we want to do everything possible to represent our country as best as possible. We must continue on this path, with everyone’s willingness to make themselves available to the group. So we can get far.”
