Spinazzola broke his left Achilles tendon at the end of the quarterfinals with Belgium, which the Italians won in Munich 2: 1. After the treatment, it was carried on tears in tears. The 28-year-old left back at a specialist in Finland underwent surgery and a break of up to eight months awaits him.

“I feel more pressure and emotions than if I were preparing for a match with the team. I will be even more nervous,” Spinazzola told the Italian media. “I will cheer on them in the stands with crutches. If Italy wins, I will have to jump and celebrate with the others. My wife repeats over and over again to be careful, so I hope to be able to jump on at least one leg,” added a native of Foligno.

He was moved when his teammates gave him Tuesday’s semifinal victory over Spain. The Italians sang chants with his name on the field, the winger Lorenzo Insigne put on Spinazzol’s jersey after a penalty shootout. “Lorenzo was a little bigger, but it was a beautiful gesture. We had a two-hour video call and I thanked them wholeheartedly. It was amazing, we’re like family,” Spinazzola said.

He impressed on the Euro with great performances. Although he played only four matches, he was twice the best player of the match. He also remains the fastest football player in the championship with a maximum speed of 33.8 kilometers per hour. “I realized that it is the biggest tournament of my career and I am very happy that I was doing so well. I believed myself, but it is extraordinary,” said the 18-time national team member.

He expects a very demanding final. “It will be 50 to 50. England also have exceptional individualities on the bench like (Marcus) Rashford, (Jadon) Sancho and (Phil) Foden. Despite their youth, they are phenomenal. This shows their strength. It will be a difficult match, especially at their stadium. but we are a great team and we can do it, “said Spinazzola.
