Giuseppe Rossi was happy with his first Italy goal in
over two years and the partnership with Mario
Balotelli. But he insisted that it was a shame that the
Italians allowed the Super Eagles to score twice in
their friendly at Craven Cotttage.
“Of course I’m happy with the goal and the team’s
overall performance,” he told Rai Sport after a 2-2
friendly draw with the Super Eagles.
“It’s a shame we conceded those goals when we
appeared to be in control. We can go home happy
with this game.
“More than the goal, it’s the performance that
counts. We all worked very hard to honour this jersey
and I think that’s what we did.”
This was Rossi’s first Azzurri goal since June 2011, as
he was out for two years with a series of knee injuries
and missed the 1-1 draw with Germany due to
tonsillitis on Friday.
“It was nice to see the affection from my teammates.
We have a great group of players and we’re all
friends off the field too, so these are good
foundations to build on.
“We have many great strikers, so any of them can
play up front for Italy. The important thing is to give
100 per cent whenever we’re called upon.
“I never gave in and still have objectives to achieve,
which I am slowly going through and hope to
eventually get them all.”
Some have said the pairing with Balotelli is Good
Cop, Bad Cop.
“We’re two good guys! We get on well, as does
everyone in the squad. In all honesty, there wasn’t
much time to prepare for this game. We did well,
Mario gave me a great assist for the goal and played
very well, so I’m happy for him. His goal will come as
long as he keeps working like this.
“I was ill with a sore throat and fever, so I only
managed to train for two days during this get-
together.”
Diamanti curses Eagles woodwork
Alessandro Diamanti will “just have to keep
improving on free-kicks” after hitting the bar in
Italy’s 2-2 draw with the Super Eagles.
“I’m getting used to hitting the woodwork. It means
I’ll just have to keep improving on my free-kicks,” the
Bologna star shrugged on Rai Sport.
“We did well, I’m not sure how we ended up trailing
within 10 minutes, but after the break we had a
dozen scoring opportunities.
“I’m also disappointed the referee gave two minutes
of injury time when there should’ve been 15.”
‘Alino’ Diamanti is one of the favourites to be in the
23-man squad going to Brazil for the World Cup.
“Whenever I come here, I keep my head down, work
with a lot of humility and am at the disposal of the
group whether I play or not. That’s the only way to be
on international duty.”
