Alessandro Florenzi recalled to the microphones of Sky Sport the memories of the summer of 2021, when the Italian national team won the European Championship by beating England in the final at Wembley. A success built on the cohesion of the group and the spirit of sacrifice of every player.

The former Roma player had sweet words for Nicolò Barella, highlighting the perfect understanding that connected them on the field. “When people talk about making an extra run for a teammate, I think of Barella,” said Florenzi. “Without talking to each other, we were always in the right positions: if I was up front, he covered me and vice versa.”

A harmony that didn’t need words, only instinct and mutual understanding. An example of how team football can reach the highest levels when players understand each other perfectly, even without verbal communication.
