"We are very sorry because they are two strong guys, we are all close and we will always be close to Sandro and Nico. I did not have the opportunity to speak directly with them before their departure, but I am very sorry and, I repeat, close to both". So the captain of the national team, Gigi Donnarumma, on the story that involved Zaniolo and Tonali.
Speaking about the two upcoming commitments of the Azzurri, Donnarumma stressed to Sky Sports that "what happened does not affect us, we are professionals and we must give everything on the pitch. We worked very well during the week, the coach stimulated himself and we are ready, for tomorrow with Malta and for England, to give our best." "For my part, I feel a great emotion to return to Bari, where I made my debut in the national team - he continued -, and I can't wait to play there. There will be a big audience to support us."
