Giuseppe Rossi: "We're Italy and we'll rise again. I hope to return to defend our jersey on the field"

Giuseppe Rossi is the latest to reach out on social media to share their thoughts about Italy's failure to reach the World Cup for the first time in 60 years. He wrote on Instagram: "In difficult moments, we fall to the ground and we left without any strength. It happens to everyone. Only the greatest of champions, with the best sporting values, with great passion for their trade and with the will to never give up can overcome these moments. I am convinced that we will rise once. We are Italy. I am proud to cheer for these colors and I hope to return to defend our jersey on the field soon enough. There is nothing more beautiful than that. As always, Forza Azzurri."
