Federico Chiesa confirms “it’s always an honour to wear the Italy shirt”, and shrugs off claims he’s a diver.

The Fiorentina youngster has become a regular in the Azzurri side under Roberto Mancini, playing 46 minutes in the friendly with the USA last night.

“It’s always an honour to wear the Italy shirt,” Chiesa told Sky.

“Yesterday's victory against the USA was important and exciting. I’m happy to be part of this group.

“In the league I have to always show I’m worthy of this shirt.

“Goals? My goal is to do better than last year, I'll try to get at least seven or more.”

Chiesa has been accused of being a diver, after throwing himself to the floor against Atalanta.

“I’m a player who relies on dribbling, I always try to beat the opponent and it can happen that I go to ground more than once.

“The important thing is getting up again, and I don’t think about that Atalanta incident anymore.”
