00:00What do you think about Gianluca Menardini?
00:05Well, Gianluca Menardini holds this very important event every year to give this fair-play auspice,
00:18which in the end is certainly positive for this kind of fair-play,
00:24but then on the pitch sometimes things happen a little unusual.
00:29It's normal because the rhythm of the game, the fact of winning at all costs,
00:35forces the players to behave in a certain way.
00:39But I think this event is important to show that you have to behave well,
00:46respect the opponents, respect the people, the audience, respect everyone.
00:53This is a very important event with players who will be awarded tomorrow at a very high international level.
01:05I've heard of Drogba, Eto'o, Cannavaro, Dossena.
01:12I've also heard of Costa Curta, is that possible?
01:15Yes, and Ciro Ferrara.
01:17I'm just a witness to this event.
01:22I hope to give my contribution for the behaviour he's shown throughout his career.
01:28What has struck you about the Italian national team so far?
01:33Well, I've seen a very dynamic game,
01:40a game that's not great to watch for many teams,
01:45but there have certainly been improvements,
01:49both physically and technically.
01:53Also because many teams adopt a different system,
01:59very fast, very quick,
02:02so they create problems for you.
02:06Football is always the same for me.
02:09It's always the same, but with some important players,
02:15who certainly make a difference,
02:18especially in the teams that are still fighting for this European title.
02:25I wanted to ask you if you expected Turkey in the quarterfinals.
02:28Montella took it, brought it to the Europeans,
02:30and now in the quarterfinals, he'll face Holland,
02:33but it's a great achievement for the ex-coach of Fiorentina.
02:38What a question, Michela!
02:41Congratulations to Vincenzo,
02:44because he's worked well,
02:48he's working well with an important team.
02:52We think the Turkish league is light,
02:57but it's very much felt.
03:00The fans are very warm.
03:03We've also seen during this European,
03:06where there are 30,000-40,000 Turks watching every game,
03:10it means that there's the support of the public,
03:15in addition to having good players,
03:18especially those young boys who have emerged in this European.
03:24Giancarlo, you worked with Montella in a difficult second phase for him in Florence.
03:29Did he deserve to return to some important scenes?
03:33In short, he showed that he had very interesting football ideas.
03:37He's a good coach.
03:40He's a coach who, even when he's standing still,
03:45he's documented.
03:47I think he's always offensive,
03:50even though yesterday I saw he was quite defensive.
03:54But I think that in today's football,
03:57you can't always think about being positive.
04:00You also have to think about the defensive phase.
04:03Once he took the lead,
04:05he also pulled back a bit,
04:07as it should be.
04:10Then you also have to see the opponent,
04:12if it forces you to retreat.
04:15It was a really good game.
04:17Who will win the European for Giancarlo Antonioni?
04:20Spain.
