Italy, Dimarco: "Celebration video? Instinctive reaction, no disrespect to Bosnia"

Turin, Mar. 28 (LaPresse) – “It was an instinctive reaction, we were simply watching the penalty shootout. I absolutely meant no disrespect to Bosnia or to the Bosnian people.” Italy international Federico Dimarco said this during a press conference at Coverciano ahead of the World Cup playoff final against Bosnia, referring to the celebration seen in a video that went viral online shortly after the victory of Edin Dzeko and his teammates over Wales. “I was called arrogant, but what right would I have to be arrogant considering we have missed the last two World Cups?” added the Inter player. “That said, I would also add that it was disrespectful to film us in a setting where there were friends, family members and also children.”
