“This is football, we all know the team that scores will win. Italy had plenty of chances, but were unable to take them.
“The discussion at the end with Giorgio Chiellini? Nothing, these are things that happen on the field and that is all.
“There is nothing better than playing for your country, so this is what I had to focus on here. From tomorrow I’ll think about Napoli and of course we want the best.”
