“My brother Lorenzo? I think the criticism’s unfair,” Roberto told parmalive.com
“Italy are technically and tactically a strong national team, but my brother didn’t play by himself. It wasn’t his fault.
“If Italy lost to Spain, who aren’t a small team anyway, it’s also because Spain forced the Azzurri to play badly.”
