On their return to the country, the players of Italy had the bad surprise to learn that the Minister of Health wanted to ban their party.
Reven as heroes of Wembley, the Azzurri were eager to celebrate their European coronation with their tifosi. A party in the streets of Rome which took place this Monday but which almost never existed. Indeed, as reported by the transalpine media, the Italian Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, wanted to ban the parade of players with the cup for obvious health reasons.
When the players heard the news, the tension escalated. It was ultimately the captain of Italy, Girogio Chiellini, and, above all, his long-time sidekick, Leonardo Bonucci, who had to step up to the plate. They threatened the authorities not to go to the Quirinale, where President Mario Draghi was waiting for them, if the party did not take place.
As shown in a video posted on social networks, we see the Italian number 19 negotiating with the authorities. “Either you allow us to party or we don’t come,” he can be heard saying. “We won the negotiation for the open bus in order to dedicate this cup to the supporters. We owed them that. Their support was fundamental for us ”, then conceded Leonardo Bonucci, happy to be able to parade in the streets of Rome in an atmosphere of fire.
