“A footballer does not say no to Spalletti, he says no to something bigger that is Italy.” These were the words of Gigi Buffon, head of the national team, to the microphones of RaiSport. “In the end figures like me and like Spalletti, or the coaches and managers who have been there before, we are here but we are fallen,” he explains, “For a certain period of our lives we have the honor of being able to represent Italy. That value is inescapable: the unique value is the blue jersey and being able to represent our movement.”

Italia, Acerbi non risponde alla convocazione
Inter Milan footballer Acerbi has decided not to respond to coach Luciano Spalletti’s call-up for the Italian national team and therefore will not take part in the Azzurri’s upcoming commitments. This choice has caused much discussion and came after Inter’s Champions League defeat in the final against Paris Saint Germain. The following are the words of Italy’s Technical Commissioner: “Acerbi did not respond to the call-up to the national team, not because of a physical issue but because he has reconsidered what happened around him. We take note of his choice and move on.”
