AC Milan fullback Florenzi proud of role in young Italy's draw with Germany

AC Milan fullback Alessandro Florenzi was proud of his young Italy teammates after their draw with Germany.

The Azzurri drew 1-1 with a young XI on Saturday.

“You feel responsibility every time you pull on this shirt," assured Florenzi on RAI Sport.

“We had to send a signal that we were starting afresh and I think we did that. Everyone gave something more to honour this jersey.

“There were many young players compared to Wembley, some of them paid a price for the nerves of their debut, others behaved like a little veteran!

“We need to start again with Italy fuelled by the hunger of these young lads."
