Chiellini: ‘I deserved to take revenge against Spain’
“I’ve always thought that I deserved to take revenge against Spain before the end of my career. They made me suffer a lot in the past.”
Before yesterday’s game Italy were without a win against Spain since the 1994 World Cup and La Roja had eliminated the azzurri twice in the last two European championships. The last time was four years ago when Vicente De Bosque’s side trashed Italy 4-0 in the tournament’s final.
“The victory is a small satisfaction, I’d prefer to meet them after the last-16 stage, but it is still fine. Destiny has gifted me an incredible emotion, now we have to take advantage of this positive moment. Our tournament begins in Bordeaux.”
Italy will face Germany on Saturday night (h. 9pm) in the tournament’s quarter final.
