After Italy defeated Turkey 4-1, D. Frattesi gave an interview to RAI, discussing the national team's performance, his personal form, and the support from Gattuso.

D. Frattesi said: "I hadn't scored for two years, but I really wanted to make an impact on the pitch after the match a few days ago. We played very well and pleased the fans. We had almost lost the enthusiasm that was building around this team, so it was crucial to perform well in this game. It would have been difficult to go to France after a defeat. When there are more central midfielders—four or five of them—it's easier for players to break into the penalty area. If there are only strikers, it's easier for opponents to defend. For wingers moving into the center, more options are available. Tonight we worked well together, and I hope we can continue to play this way."

Regarding his intermittent appearances for the national team and the external perception that he only makes late penalty-box runs, D. Frattesi said: "First, that's my responsibility. It's not easy to play only 10 minutes per game and then become a starter. Now everyone has labeled me as someone who only makes late runs into the box, but today's performance shows that I can do other things too. Players can give 100% when they have confidence. Without confidence and with sporadic appearances, you do only what you do best. I want everyone to know that I'm not just a late-runner. Those who watched my first four league matches should know what I'm capable of. That label doesn't fit me, and I will continue to work hard to become a more complete player."

Speaking about Gattuso, D. Frattesi said: "He has restored my confidence, and he is very important to me. He calls me every day—he misses me. Give him my regards; he's definitely watching. If he asked me to walk from Rome to Milan and back, I would do it, because he deserves it."
