Davide Frattesi was attached with a possible return to Roma last summer due to his supposed uneasiness with the lack of consistent minutes at Inter, but he rubbished those reports in an interview with Rai Sport (via SOSFanta).
“I had fun reading the summer rumors because simply there was no truth to them. I must give something more all the time because you can always improve. For instance, I need to make extra step in the build-up. My competitors aren’t bad, so I have to elbow my way to get more minutes and work hard to rise through the hierarchy. Marcus Thuram is a great person and player, but I hope he’ll smile a little less after the next game.”
Italy will face France in their first Nations League game. Frattesi also looked back at Euro 2024, where the national team were eliminated early by Switzerland.
“It was a major disappointment because we were unable to give our fans an important satisfaction. We didn’t have the best possible vacations, but we’re here now and we’re ready to restart. Luciano Spalletti? The blame is always shared with the players, who ultimately go on the pitch. I’ve always thought that even in other situations. The coach took responsibility for the results, which was honorable, but we all made mistakes. We understood what went wrong and need to bounce back because it was a big blow for us and the Azzurri faithful. It was a black eye.”
