MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Definitely everything is coming very fast, I try to stay focused on the present. It’s always a pleasure to receive compliments from the coach of the national team, it’s a source of pride. I try to do my best, it’s a kind of extra motivation for me to keep working.” This was stated by Torino midfielder Cesare Casadei, on his first call-up with Italy’s Azzurri jersey ahead of the Nations League double-header against Germany. “The experience abroad gave me so much, I came out different as a person and as a footballer, I can only thank the people who helped me, I am very proud of the path I took,” explained the former Chelsea man.
And again, “With coach Spalletti we introduced ourselves last night,” he said from the Azzurri training camp at the Bper Training Centre, “we have not yet gone into specifics on a technical level. Ricci at Toro is a reference point, he is the captain and an example. I try to follow him in what he does, because he is a very good guy and he is helping me a lot in these first weeks at Torino.”
Also speaking in this press window was Atalanta side Matteo Ruggeri: “I am very happy for the call-up, I always try to work hard and improve in every game. I thank coach Spalletti for making this dream come true. I am focusing on the national team, I think I have to take this opportunity that has been given to me, as I said I will try to train hard every day,” explained the outfielder.
There is no shortage of insights related to Dea’s loss to Inter: “Yesterday we were aware that we were facing the strongest team in the league, we played a good part of the match at par, but Inter was decisive in the episodes. In my opinion it is the strongest team in the league, we tried to play on equal terms, but we did not succeed. I think by now last night’s game is gone, I’m focusing on the national team, I think I have to take this opportunity that has been given to me, as I said I will try to train a thousand every day,” he concluded.
