Locatelli: We all know the responsibilities we shoulder, Gattuso is a very real person

After Italy defeated Israel 3-0, Locatelli was interviewed by Rai.

What do you think of Italy’s current new journey?

"Winning this game is very crucial. The most important thing is the atmosphere we feel in Coverciano (the national team training base). We are a united and motivated team and must continue to maintain this state."

Your overall evaluation of the game?

"The opponent moved a lot and it was difficult to read. We became more aggressive in the second half. After the goal, the game became smoother."

The cooperation between you and Dimarco is very tacit, and you performed better in the second half.

"DiMarco and I work together very well. We have played many games together in the youth team. In the second half, we suppressed the opponent's playmakers more and successfully limited their performance."

Does everything start with the atmosphere in the locker room?

"Indeed, each of us is very aware of the responsibilities on our shoulders, and we get along well with each other. The head coach is a very real person and speaks his mind, which is very helpful to the team. When we put on this jersey, we must go all out."

How to rebuild a team with a winning temperament?

"I have played in a winning team, and I have also made mistakes due to lack of continuity. I think the most important thing is that everyone can unite with each other. In addition to winning, what is more important is that everyone has the attitude of wanting to work hard. Each of us wants to be with each other, and this unity is very important. Experience is accumulated through games, but the foundation must be working hard together."
