On Locatelli?
“His character is very important, in fact with normality and naturalness he became the captain of the team. On the pitch he always does important things for the team. From the way I see it, that’s how you do it. He earned it with his attitude, in more on the pitch the role he knows how to do are very important. He is able to stay in front, and by being more in front, it is a role that for him individually he is more used to matches made a different role can not express how to stand anymore up front, but for the team if you want he is very functional. He makes the team function better. Sometimes he gets into difficulty for the good of the team, he must be asked as a player and as a captain, he has earned it day after day. In the last few games he has played a role that you say: yes, he does well, but he can do better up front. But there he makes his teammates do better, I ask the boys with the right attitude 200%”.
