Riccardo Calafiori, what did you experience this evening?
“Wonderful emotions, never felt before. I’m very happy, I can’t wait to hug my family and hear from all my friends.”
What did you think about the 0-1 score?
“Like the rest of the team, I didn’t dwell too much on that goal. We were sure that the match wouldn’t end like this: there was plenty of time to play and that’s what we did.”
When did you understand that you had to play with this tactical arrangement and with these men?
“We have always… In the defensive phase we are in one structure, while in the offensive phase we change. We are quite flexible and can change during the course of the match, this is what the coach wants.”
