Giuseppe Rossi scored Italy's third goal against the Czech Republic, sealing the Azzurrini's 3-1 win, but that was not enough to keep the five-time winners in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship as they had to settle for third place in Group B - although there is the consolation of a play-off with their Group A counterparts Portugal for a place in next year's Olympic Games in Beijing. uefa.com caught up with Rossi, the Carlsberg Man of the Match, after the game.
