REGUZZONI'S WORDS - When asked about it, Marco Reguzzoni said: “It's an outburst at the end of the game, after a disappointment. Paola did not play well and was attacked hard for not reaching the goal of the final. She told me she was in trouble, that she's not well. She reiterated that it is an honor for her to wear this shirt and that she didn't have it with anyone, she is only very sorry because when she doesn't play well she is always accused. And that hurts her.' However, she cannot say who asked her if she was Italian.

I AM TARGET - A Sky Sport , Paola adds: “It's bad to say, I don't want to take away the merits or respect of my companions, but I'm always the one targeted. She always goes to see how I was wrong, how I could have done better. Mentally I've reached the point where I wish I had a free summer to disconnect and appreciate what I do even more. I don't know when all this started. Obviously it's a beautiful thing because I always take the weight off and since I've been in the national team we've always had the result, I always thank my teammates with whom we've done this job but when the negative part happens and it's lost... it makes me laugh to think I've read people who have asked me why I'm Italian. I wonder why I also have to represent those who ask me if I'm Italian. I put my soul into it, I put my heart into it, I never disrespect anyone and it hurts ”.
