A group applause, then the hugs of the teammates, who got up one by one to greet their teammate at the time of departure from the retreat, and of the coach, Roberto Mancini.
It was a goodbye between the joking and the moved that of Leonardo Spinazzola at the National team in Coverciano after the Achilles tendon injury in the match against Belgium, all taken up in a video two over two minutes released on social networks by the FIGC and by the Roma player himself.
A little embarrassed by his crutches, Spinazzola left the large dining room where his companions greeted him with a great applause, and while the senators, Chiellini and Bonucci, embraced him first, a chorus rose from the group "Spina , Plug". Between jokes and pats on the back to hide the bitterness and emotion, Spinazzola then approached the coaching staff table to receive Mancini's hug.
