Sebastian Giovinco admits he felt “pretty calm” on his senior Italy debut in Dortmund.
The Under-21 international came off the bench and with his first touch took a free kick from a dangerous position, proving he was not short on confidence.
“It was an important debut, but I felt pretty calm. Coach Cesare Prandelli told me to take that free kick as soon as I came on, although I might've taken it anyway! I should've done better, but it was my first touch.

“I really needed to play consistently and at Parma I am finally achieving that.”
