Rovira: Italy is certainly stronger than Estonia Our goal is to reach the World Cup

Rovila was selected for the latest Italian national team roster. Italy will play against Estonia and Israel in the World and European Preliminaries on September International Games. Before the game, Rovilla accepted an official interview with the Italian Football Association.

Talk about Gattuso

"I saw that the head coach is really passionate, which gives us energy. We have to perform well in these two games. He also conveys a sense of belonging. In training, he gives us the right energy, and energy is the key to our meeting in full shape."

Does the state at the beginning of the season help in physical preparation?

"Of course. Now is the time for us to gradually get back to the stage and enter the rhythm of the game. The national team also gives us extra motivation to get into the stage, which is very important."

What advice do you have for young players?

"I have only played three games myself and can't give much advice. But we will do our best to help them integrate."

Which national teammates do you have the best relationship?

"Calafiori and Maldini Jr. have known each other since the youth team and have the best relationship with them."

What is the goal of this Italian team?

"We want to enter the World Cup. The first step is to enter the World Cup, and let's see later."

Some people say that you are very similar to Modric and Ambrocsini

"Modric has always been my idol, even when I was a child. I am very happy to hear such comparisons. He is indeed my role model."

Who is your favorite player in the position you play?

"I would say Rodri. Pedri is also very good."

What memories do you have about the last national team game?

"The last game was not too good, not a pleasant memory. We performed poorly in Norway, and then we won against Moldova, and the atmosphere was a little bit softer. But the Norwegian game was heavy for us, and we started the wrong start, which affected the performance and results of the whole game."

Are you stronger than Estonia and Israel?

"Of course yes, but every national team is difficult to deal with, even if it is a team that looks weak on paper. We must do the right thing to match strength and desire to win. There may be some aspects we have not done enough before. Only by leveling these two levels can the players' personal abilities be truly reflected."

Which aspect do you appreciate Locatelli?

"I always like his calmness when he is in possession and his ability to handle the ball with high quality both on both sides of the left and right feet."
