Andrea Barzagli: “I was very nervous during the shoot-out”

Juventus and Italian national team Defender Andrea Barzagli summed up the match Euro-2012 quarter against England (0: 0, 4: 2 on penalties), as well as talked about the semi-final with Germany. 

“I was very nervous during the shoot-out. Thought it would be unfair if we lose. But all ended well. I think we deserve it. 

When playing in defence we have focused over the 120 minutes. Moments at our gate was a little bit. But we knew that we have no right to make mistakes when in attack the opponent has such a player like Rooney.

This is not a problem that Germany is the favorite. Today we have learned what our team has potential. Now everyone has a certain weariness. We don't have much time to recover, but the victory over England should help us in this,” – said Barzagli.
