"I don't think the best way is to insult everyone because each of us has given their all (unfortunately it wasn't enough). Above all, the younger ones, leave them alone: if you really want to insult us 'older' ones. Because sometimes we forget that we are people like all of you, very normal people and that we find the greatest emotions in small things ".
Marco Verratti with a post on instagram says about him after the exclusion of Italy from the Qatar World Cup.
"When you win it is easy to thank everyone. I want to do it today after an elimination that will deprive us of the most beautiful and exciting competition for us players but above all for all Italian fans in the world - writes the PSG midfielder - I wanted to thank everyone, staff, players and all the people who work with passion and enthusiasm in the national team. Unfortunately, life as well as football does not always go hand in hand with the expectations, goals or dreams that each of us has. The disappointment is now great - he underlines - but we have already shown that with work, passion and heart everything is possible, so in life or in football, whether it's after a great victory like this summer or after a great defeat, you must always keep fighting.Football is our passion and I am sure that we will continue to give our all to still take away some satisfactions all together.
