Alessandro Bastoni, defender of Italy, gave an interview to Rai 1 after the victory obtained against Israel:
How important is this victory against Israel?
“It was very important to follow up on the victory against France, which made us feel like a strong group. We must continue on this path and leave behind the bad impression at the European Championship.”
Are you happy to be a point of reference?
“I’ve done a lot of apprenticeship in the national team behind Bonucci and Chiellini. I’m happy to take their place and I try to pass on to the younger players what they passed on to me.”
What went wrong at the European Championship?
The European Championship was a cold shower, we had the wrong approach and we take our responsibilities. We want to leave this bad page behind us and start again”
