“Following the tradition of the master Fabio Cannavaro,” he wrote on Instagram.
Cannavaro’s reply arrived thick and fast: ‘Thank you, captain, today it’s even more beautiful being Italian and please remember to cover the baby well.’
Over 200 fans welcomed the Azzurri at their hotel this morning.
Chiellini also delivered a message to Italian fans after the Final at Wembley Stadium.
“Thanks to you. To all of you, because in this incredible adventure, we brought you in. You were in front of our eyes and inside our hearts,” the 36-year-old wrote.
“The pain of those who suffered, the fatigue of those who were brought to their knees by the pandemic. The desire to return to life.
“The faces of women, men, old people, young people, children and those who saved our lives: the doctors. You pushed us, you helped us, you sang with us.
“The result is only a part of the game but this result, this victory, these tears of joy are dedicated to you. We wrote the story! Forza Azzurri.”
Il risultato è solo una parte del gioco ma questo risultato, questa vittoria, queste lacrime di gioia sono dedicate a voi.
Abbiamo scritto la storia!
