“The controversies with the British at the European Championships? I can't pretend: I found this controversy fueled by us Italians pathetic. I've seen dozens of finals where the loser got the medal.
They stayed there for 20 minutes, they saw us raise the cup in their home, some even applauded. What more were they supposed to do? We won, we were the most beautiful, we shouted our pride in his face, let's not moralize. Which is not in our DNA, since we are not saint's shins. Did they whistle our hymn? Ugly, sure. But how many times have our fans booed that of others and Buffon had to call the applause?
I was a good player, but if you also needed a son of p…. Chiellini love him if he's on your team, otherwise you hate him. As an opponent in certain games, I also made some hard entries. We are these: blues, not princes blues.
Controversy for your celebrations on the open bus in Rome? I don't think the problem of the rise in infections stemmed from that stretch of road, after seeing days of parties in the squares and thousands of people in front of big screens throughout the European Championship. If there had to be a steady wrist, it was right to show it even earlier. The bodies in charge had to better organize our return and the inevitable welcome. Having said that, it is also not normal that if the ministry says no, then you change your mind because the players are asking for something else. "
