Sassuolo striker Simone Zaza is delighted with his latest Italy call.
Zaza has been impressive under Azzurrri coach Antonio Conte.
"I'm happy to be selected for the national team again, it confirms that there's confidence in me, particularly on Conte's part.
"He's a demanding Coach, and he wants players who display certain characteristics.
"He asks that as a team you think more about the group than the individual, because he wants the good of the team, and individuals are valued only by what they do for the group.
"After my first call-up, I went through a period where I wasn't in top form, I was stressed because so much had changed in my life.
"Then I recovered, and I was ok after three games, even against Juventus. I was injured, but I'm on the road to recovery now.
"I'm fine, and I want to do well for the national team."
