Italy, Dimarco: "The celebration was an instinctive reaction. Arrogant? But we’ve missed the last two World Cups. It was a bit disrespectful to be told off at that moment"

"I respect every club and national team. It was an instinctive reaction; we were among friends and watching the penalties. I also spoke to Dzeko, a friend of mine, and congratulated him. I didn’t disrespect anyone. We have little reason to be arrogant; we’ve missed out on the last two World Cups, so there’s no point in being that way. I was sorry about it and I think it was a bit disrespectful to be told off at that moment."

"We absolutely want to qualify. We’re working well together; on Tuesday, we’ll need to be mentally strong above all else. If we are, we’ll get the result. The mind controls the body. Bosnia are very strong and we’ll have to be at our best in every respect. Our greatest strength has been our mental resilience. After the first half and Retegui’s chance, we didn’t lose heart. We stayed in the game rather than letting our minds wander: we broke the deadlock and then sealed it with Moise.”

"They are two strong national teams that can cause you problems in different ways. Bosnia have more experienced players and talented youngsters who are performing well. A problem with the first halves? I can’t explain it; every match is different."

"He’s having a great season, but I’m not particularly interested in individual statistics. It’s the results that count. Pio is here because he deserves to be; he’s a special lad and, for his age, he’s already very mature. This shows how much he’s grown over the last six or seven months. There’s no point putting pressure on him. As for how we Inter players are doing? You can’t always be at 100 per cent; the important thing is to always give your all."

"He's a brilliant bloke; to keep him happy, you've got to set him up. I know him well."
