At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on June 21, the second round of the Europa League group stage showdown between Italy and Spain is about to kick off. Before the match, Italian midfielder Florencio shared his preparations and journey at a press conference.
Facing the question of how he is preparing for the marquee match, Florenshaw said, "We are very well prepared, the whole team is working hard to get everything ready for the match." As for whether or not he will play, he humbly said that it depends on the coach's decision, "If I can play, it will be my honor."
Looking back on his soccer career, Florenshaw is overwhelmed with emotion. A year ago, he was still playing in the Serie B promotion playoffs, but now he is wearing the national team colors and standing on the field of the Europa League. He admits: "A year ago, I could not have imagined that I would be in the position I am in today. Hard work is the basis of everything, and although I have reached a certain level, I have to work harder."
For the upcoming showdown with Spain, Florenshaw showed great professionalism and team spirit. He said that he will give his best in whatever position the coach puts him in, "The important thing is to contribute to the team and I will be ready in any position on the field."
Talking about the significance of this Europa League, Florencio said fondly: "I want to dedicate this Europa League to all the people who have supported me and accompanied me through the tough times. I couldn't have reached this level at 26 without the support of my mother and my family. Everyone has their own path, I chose soccer and I chose to keep working hard."
Finally, he spoke of the warm atmosphere he felt in Germany, "Every time we leave the hotel, we feel the warmth and support of the German-Italian diaspora, which gives us a lot of motivation. We hope to continue to bring them joy and pride."
