“We had a good match against Croatia, we played well and it was very important for us to start in the right way. We know that it will be tough against Italy: it is a strong team, with quality players and a coach who likes to play football like us. We hope to do better than them and win.” Talk like this Fabian Ruizmidfielder for Spain and PSG, and former Napoli player, a Sky Sports in view of tomorrow’s match against the Azzurri.
Italy lacks a great champion, unlike Spain. “But if you see Italy there are many players and a lot of quality. We are two very similar teams, we both like to play from the back and keep the ball. We have similar players. The one who makes the fewest mistakes will win.”
Tomorrow you will see Di Lorenzo with whom you played in Naples. “I often talk to Di Lorenzo, I have good memories with him in Naples and when we meet we always talk after the match. I also want to meet Spalletti and Donnarumma.”
