Italy midfielder Alessandro Florenzi has admitted that the Azzurri
did not perform up to their usual standards after a disappointing
2-2 draw with Armenia on Tuesday night.
The 22-year-old scored his first goal for the senior side in the match,
but conceded that the result was on the forefront of his thoughts.
"The start of the match was not great as we weren't able to implement
our play," he told Rai Sport.
"We began to play after Armenia took the lead. I think the result is
a bit misleading. The crowd played their part and we tried to give
our best but we are upset at not having picked up the win.
"The controversy with Balotelli over the past few days? When we are
on the pitch we leave everything behind.
"I am happy with my goal but it is upsetting to see a top seeding
for the World Cup in doubt. I have to thank [Lorenzo] Insigne for
the goal as he gave me a great pass.
"Ugly showing against Armenia? It wasn't our best performance and we
are upset at not having played our best match.
"Roma-Napoli? It will be a great match, it will be a battle on
the pitch. From Napoli I fear Insigne, he is even better [Gonzalo]
Higuain."
