SOUNDBITE (Italian): Claudio Marchisio, Juventus midfielder

"It's annoying (the match-fixing scandal) especially for us because the rest of the football world is not like that. We are obviously waiting for the sentences that will be given out. It is right that those who have made mistakes should pay. The only thing we have to do is to wait and hope that there will be exemplary punishments."

"We are a week away from the beginning of the European Championship and lots of problems come out every time. We don't need to worry, we have just to train for the first match against Spain, who are a great team."
