More Italian players are throwing in the towel following their inability to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.
Though It was Gigi Buffon that set the tone, it is confirmed that the duo of De Rossi and Andrea Barzagli have also called time on their international career with the Azzurri.
“My adventure finishes here,” said De Rossi. “It’s a black moment for Italian football and a really dark one for
us players who were a part of the past two years. The Federation now has an important job to start again from such a moment of painful disappointment. They’ll have to go again with the spirit that my teammates showed on the pitch tonight. We didn’t deserve to go out based on what was seen in those 180 minutes, but congratulations to them.”
On his part, Barzagli said: “I think this is the biggest disappointment of my life in football. The Italian National Team gives you unique sensations, you have goosebumps during the anthem as you’re united with the fans. It’s a shame to finish like that. The tears at the EUROs were an outlet, to leave like this is a tough blow for my career”
Many expect massive changes in the Italian team going forward.
