They are two newly crowned champions, called up to represent the National Team. One won the Scudetto with Napoli, a second in the last three years; the other player helped Bologna win the Coppa Italia after 51 years. Giacomo Raspadori and Riccardo Orsolini featured in 'Azzurri Live' this afternoon, the format show live on Vivo Azzurro TV and the National Team's social media channels. 

Orsolini explained: "It's a huge honour to get back to representing the National Team after one year. I missed it and I wanted to do everything to be here...". Raspadori added: "There's always a good energy here. There's lots of enthusiasm and desire to be and work together". 

On Friday, Italy's World Cup qualification journey will begin in Oslo, against Norway. The Bologna forward continued: "We're all quite calm and aware of our qualities. The game in Norway will be difficult, but we'll do our all to get the win: we want to go to the World Cup. Personally, having won a Coppa Italia injects a level of enthusiasm that I can bring to the side after not being in it for a year. Even though the pride and spirit of belonging when it comes to wearing this shirt are enough to make everything slide away". 

'Jack' Raspadori appeared happy when his friend 'Orso' spoke of the achievement: "Wining the Scudetto was amazing, brilliant... and as someone from Bologna, I'm so happy to see the Rossoblù win. I had lots of friends in Rome to watch the final". 

After the match in Oslo the Azzurri will return to Italy for their second qualification, on Monday 9 June in Reggio Emilia, against Moldova: "It will be exciting and strange for me, because I became a man in Sassuolo. And in the 'Città del Tricolore' I also scored my second goal for the National Team. I hope to make some new memories in that stadium...", Raspadori stated.
