Nicholas Beans spoke from the retreat of the National: “I was surprised by the call. Locatelli? I am a friend of him, I love him, he is sorry and I told him that he deserved to be there. I’m close to him, but now I want the call-up.”

On the meeting with Spalletti.
“I first met the Mister last year when he was coaching Napoli. Then he came to see us with Juventus. In March he called me to find out how I was doing on a human level. Then the evening before the cup we had a chat.”

How did the invitation come?
“I found out when the invitations went out on the Internet. I was resting, then I saw many messages on my phone and I realized that something good was happening. Now I’m here and I’m playing for my place in the 26. As I already said, if I’m not in I’ll be rooting for Italy. In the pre-Italian Cup conversation, however, we hadn’t talked about this with the Coach.”

What time is it?
“I’m making the most of these moments. Like the one this morning with the numbers 10. Del Piero is certainly my favourite, but I respect them all.”

On the Türkiye test and on the Under 17s.
“It will be a tough match, there is Calhanoglu who is one of the few who spoke to me in my difficult moments. I’m just saying he’s a fantastic person. I wish the Under 17s to win.”

Would the convocation be a rebirth for you?
“For me the day of the disqualification was the real rebirth. There I really understood what had happened to me and what I had to do again. Obviously going to the European Championship would be a fantastic emotion.”

On position on the pitch.
“In this period I trained a lot in front of the defense. I did it with Cremonese, with Juve I also worked as a midfielder.”
