“We are going on to the field in order to beat them, as we want three points to get us alongside the big clubs. In any case, this is going to be a celebration.”
Romulo has reason to celebrate, as the Brazilian was called up for Cesare Prandelli’s Italy fitness tests, but teammate Toni was left out.
“Romulo’s strength is his versatility and he should be called Italy’s Joker in the Pack, as he can perform in many different roles,” added Mandorlini.
"How did we congratulate him on his call-up? We sang him the Italian national anthem in training!
