Genoa striker Retegui 'really happy' with Italy double

Genoa striker Mateo Retegui says he'll stay grounded after scoring twice for Italy against Venezuela.

The Azzurri won the friendly in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday 2-1 thanks to Retegui's brace.

“I am really happy because it was a tough game and we won it," he later said. "We are really happy. Now we must rest and hopefully play a great game on Sunday.

“My father is here, all my family is close to me.

'I must remain calm, keep my feet on the ground, work hard and help the team when I play."
