Federico Dimarco gave an interview to the microphones of ‘Vivo Azzurro’ at the end of Italy-Belgium 2-2: “There is regret because in the first 40 minutes we played beautiful football, we built with a lot of dribbling and we scored two goals. Then afterwards we were also good at defending: they are a strong national team, we know Belgium’s history. home this draw which is fine.”
We are still leading the group and now with Israel we want to consolidate this first position
“Absolutely, we want to finish in first place.”
