00:00It's good for the players who play here in Italy.
00:06They'll have a bit more peace of mind when they come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow with their team-mates.
00:13Italy were very bad in the first leg.
00:17There's always been a rivalry.
00:20It's a shame, unfortunately, that it's become a trend to tax the national anthem.
00:26It's a shame that the players have had the idea of applauding.
00:35I don't know, it seems that the world is going badly.
00:40I don't know why.
00:43It's increasing.
00:45There's a lot of respect between Italians and French players.
00:50It's like the Italian players who play together.
00:54It happened to me many years ago.
00:57I said, can I be your friend before the game and after?
01:01But during the game, it's a battle.
01:04The motivation was even greater on the part of these players.
01:12We know that Italy have done very well so far.
01:18They had a good game today.
01:21I think we were superior on several levels.
01:26We deserved this win.
