Zaniolo breaks silence after Italy return with message for Roma

Nicolò Zaniolo insists ‘team is the most important thing’ ahead of Spain vs. Italy in the Nations League semis and insists he’s ‘happy’ to have joined Galatasaray from Roma in February.

This is his first appearance for the Nazionale since leaving the Giallorossi four months ago. “All things in life have a beginning and an end, that experience had reached an end and I am happy to have changed,” Zaniolo told RAI Sport before kick-off.

“This is important more to reach the Final than a personal matter. If things go the way we hope, then there could be room for personal satisfaction too, but the team is the most important thing.”

This is a new era for Spain too under new coach Luis De La Fuente, who has made quite a few changes. “Spain have quality players who can pass the ball well and cause us problems, but we can trouble them too. We want to reach the Final and lift the trophy,” concluded Zaniolo.
