Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante says Italy's players are happy with victory in Turkey.

Cristante scored in the 3-2 friendly win.

“We did well to react to their goal, as it was not easy in a packed stadium with a fiery atmosphere," Cristante told RAI Sport.

“It was important that we show a strong reaction after that bad start. We had to put in a good performance and turn the page straight away."

On missing this year's World Cup, Cristante added: “We are disappointed, but we know in football there isn't much time to feel sorry for yourself.

“We've got to reboot and we know that we are a strong team."
