Giorgio Chiellini joked he “did everything tonight, good and bad” after scoring a brace and an own goal for Azerbaijan.
“It would’ve been a real shame, as we risked compromising a victory that was fully deserved,” he told Rai Sport following Italy’s 2-1 victory.
“Considering how we’ve started this new era, it was only right to continue winning and the performance deserved it.
“We are hard-working and enthusiastic. We made some mistakes in our finishing today, but had the right attitude.”
Chiellini accidentally bundled a corner into his own net from point-blank range, giving Azerbaijan a temporary equaliser.
“The ball emerged from nowhere and I couldn’t get out of the way. Oh well, I did everything tonight, good and bad!”
