Chiesa happy scoring in Italy victory over Holland

Juventus attacker Fede Chiesa was happy to score for Italy in victory over Holland.

Italy won the Nations League third-place play-off 3-2.

Chiesa said: “I am happy with the goal and for the team. Perhaps we deserved more over the two games.

“We are ready, I think we proved that over the last few years. There is talent in Italy, it just needs to be used properly.

“Mancini has done that with great courage, bringing through players like for example Nicolò Zaniolo for international duty before he'd even played a single Serie A match.

“Obviously, there were some wonderful moments, some less great, but this is football and we can look to the future with positivity."
