Roma and Italy‘s Alessandro Florenzi has heaped praise on his Azzurri teammates following their 2-0 defeat of Spain in the last 16 of Euro 2016 on Monday evening.
After the game, Leonardo Bonucci identified togetherness and the mentality of the current Azzurri squad as being key to their success so far this summer, a sentiment agreed with by Florenzi.
“What a group! Another victory earned with humility, sacrifice and sweat,” the versatile Roman announced on his Twitter account.
