“People have tried to create too much controversy, like the one on Gerard Pique, although that was even laughable.”
Morata is considered the ‘spy’ for Spain, as he knows the defensive unit very well indeed.
“I did speak to my ex-Juventus teammates and they suggested I wear a helmet if I play! They are the architects of Juventus success in recent years.
“Gigi Buffon is a legend, Leonardo Bonucci is the boss, Giorgio Chiellini brings strength and Andrea Barzagli quality.
“Italy will be without Antonio Candreva and that is a big loss, but they have a great squad and always give everything they’ve got to win.”
