The federal president: “The blue jersey is the country, it is not a football team” ROME (ITALPRESS) – “The blue jersey is the country, it is not a football team. An entire nation identifies itself in that color. All together we can push the national team. I won’t say anything to the players, I have no words to say. They know very well what the goal is and what the Italians expect. ” This was stated by the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, at the end of the federal council which took place at “Casa Azzurri” two days before the start of the European Championships. “I have only one concern – explained the FIGC number one – this enthusiasm is extraordinary, perhaps a little too much. We Italians have achieved great results when there were so many clouds. The sky is clear and we hope it will remain so. I have particular superstitions, I have something that I want to keep to myself and I am not saying it. We had to deal with general situations in the country that did not offer calm prospects. Bringing the European Championship to Rome was difficult, but we passed the criticisms brilliantly. I thank the availability of Minister Speranza and that of our government which will allow us to experience a world event “, continued Gravina. “The participation of the public will represent a message of restart that becomes reality. Minimum objective? We have already achieved it: we have generated enthusiasm, so we have already won. Getting to the end will be difficult, the wish is to take a plane and go to Wembley. But not to make a quarter-final. Our idea is to stop in England for some time to play from the semifinals onwards “. (ITALPRESS). gm / red 09-Jun-21 17:28
