Alessandro Bastoni: Happy with Two Goals and Performance, Always Believed in Myself
Alessandro Bastoni spoke to Rai Sport after Italy's 1-1 draw with France, scoring the equalizer. This marks his second consecutive goal, following his strike against Turkey.
"It was a tough match, as we knew," Bastoni stated. "But I'm pleased with the team's performance. We fought, we endured, and we disrupted France's aim for a celebratory night. We understood this wouldn't be a walk in the park. I'm proud of everyone."
On scoring in back-to-back games:
"It's gratifying. My immediate thought after scoring was to prevent conceding another goal. I'm happy these two goals helped the team secure an important result, which builds our confidence for the future."
On his season start with Italy:
"Not with two goals, no. But I've never doubted myself. I don't let a few incidents derail a career spanning over 300 matches. My family's support has always given me strong self-belief, helping me overcome difficult moments."
On the team's belief:
"We believed from the start. We had the clearer chances in the first half. We're very pleased. This shouldn't be our peak; it should give us significant confidence, showing that if we can perform like this against France, we can do it against any opponent. We need to stay focused and ignore the praise that will come, as another important match is ahead."
