June 30, 00:00, in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Italy lost 0-2 to Switzerland, failing to advance to the quarter-finals. After the match, Cristante, who started for Italy, gave an interview.
Cristante said: “There’s no need to be sorry for our elimination. Italy’s elimination is a deserved result. Switzerland was physically strong, well-organized, and we lost completely without competition, we couldn’t handle the opponent. Now we should clear our minds and hope to come back next year with a different spirit.”
“We were inferior to Switzerland on all levels, and our energy ran out very quickly. As I said before, our elimination is not worthy of regret; it is a deserved result.”
