Claudio Marchisio spoke to Sky Sport during the opening of the "Black and White Times" exhibit at the J Museum: "These last few months have been difficult because I had a big problem with my left thigh. I am happy that after two and half months absence, I was able to play 90 minutes without cramps."
He also spoke about the Italian national team: "I am disappointed that I can't be there, but I am a big fan. I heard from my teammates that they have the objective to reach the World Cup. All of us have to be motivated and have confidence. I want to be there as well."
