“We’re at a time of absolute participation from the Federation in all aspects with the lads who go onto the pitch.
“Of course there must always be a reverential apprehension for those who have played football for many years.
“They’ve had a great national team that gave so many players to Italy, from the times of Gre-No-Li [Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm] to so many other champions, the last of whom was [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic.
“They don’t have as many stars now, but they have to be respected.
“Right now the ‘Dominus’ is [CT Giampiero] Ventura. We can’t say anything to him, we just offer moral support.”
