Montolivo: ‘Deserved victory’
By Football Italia staff
Riccardo Montolivo made his Italy comeback and was pleased with the
3-1 victory over Armenia. `My position is not easy to interpret.’
The Milan midfielder had not featured due to injury over the summer
until today’s World Cup qualifier.
`My last game with the Azzurri was the Euro 2012 Final, so I really
wanted to do well this evening,’ he told Rai Sport.
Montolivo has always insisted he is not a trequartista, but was again
played behind the strikers by Cesare Prandelli.
`My position is not easy to interpret in our midfield. In the first
half we played well. It was not an easy victory, but a deserved one,
as in internationals the level is always going to be high.
`I must also admit Gigi Buffon did well to save us on a few occasions.’
