Daniele de Rossi, the midfielder of the Italian national team, paid tribute to his opponent after the match against the Japanese national team (4:3). His goal before the break allowed “Squadra Azura” to reduce the score difference (1:2). That’s how Prandelli’s men got and used their chance to break the deadlock at the start of the second half. And de Rossi himself earned a second yellow card and now has to miss the next match with the Brazilians, the result of which will decide who will take the first place in the group.
“The Japanese team played an incredibly strong and powerful game,” De Rossi told Rai Sport. “I have never played in such a climate.” I started looking at the clock from the 68th minute. I thought we played 200 minutes already.
We were lucky today and I hope we learn from this. Maybe the result will be the only pleasant memory of this evening.
Unfortunately, I got the second yellow card. I am very sorry that I should not participate in the match with the Brazilian national team. By the way, there is something good about it. others will get a chance to play. And I always play for Italy with great pride.”
