“The blue jersey is always an honor, the National A the dream – said the Italian in the press conference in Castel di Sangro in view of next Monday’s friendly against Japan – we will aim to win. We want to make a good performance, we will try to win above all for morale. The call to the senior national team remains a dream for me – adds Rovella – but wearing this shirt is always a burden and an honor. Against England in the first 10-15 minutes we were taken by surprise having met a little lower level teams in the qualifiers, then afterwards we played much better than them, who are almost all starters in the Premier League. Apart from that, the performance was good.
