“Winning 3 points is essential.
We are not who we saw before North Macedonia.
The coach asked us to leave everything we had on the field because winning was the only thing that mattered.
We are happy and even play well.
Zaniolo was asked whether such a rally could be a starting point for him.
“I don’t think I ever stopped.
I always do what my boss asks and am ready to work.
I’m often called disrespectful and excessive, but that’s not the case.
I’ve always been the same on every team I’ve played with.
The attacker answered a question about his role.
“I can play as a winger, number 10 or box-to-box.
However, I am currently in the best shape at the moment.
I still need to improve something, but the coach gave me some instructions in both phases and I felt comfortable on the field.
I am satisfied with this performance.
Zaniolo looks back at the draw against North Macedonia.
“We made some mistakes, starting with this one of mine.
We paid the price, but were also unlucky to get a few clear-cut chances, while they took advantage of their first chance.
