Archelby: I was drunk until the second time I got sick. Whether to return to the national team is up to Gatuso

Inter Milan veteran Archerbi said that whether he returns to the Italian national team will be decided by coach Gattuso.

Accelby first said in an interview with Mediaset: "I feel like a lion, and it's been a few years. In my opinion, a lion is a good animal, it's very lonely, but knows what I want."

Accelby also talked about the alcoholism problem he had before, "I did overdrinke. At that time, I just wanted to enjoy indulgence, soccer was placed in a secondary position. I was not depressed at the time, but I wanted to stop that kind of life because I couldn't continue. I couldn't give what I wanted, and I had other ideas in my mind. So I started going out for a long time. During the second time, I got sick. "

Accelby continued: "I felt bad after I got sick. I had no external symptoms, but the blood test showed problems. Then the doctor told me that I had to undergo surgery and I could go back to the court. The condition relapsed a few months later, and I didn't expect it. I received chemotherapy from January and I didn't recover until the end of the season. After that, praying became a natural part of my life. Since then, I thought of my wife, children, and father. "

In June this year, Archelby refused to represent the Italian national team in the World Cup qualifiers against Norway, and Italy lost 0-3 away. This has dismissed former Italian national team coach Spalletti, and the prospect of Italy's advancement to the World Cup next year has become less optimistic. Archerby continued: "Return to the national team? The coach will decide which players he wants or does not want. If coach Gattuso doesn't want to call me, that's OK. I decided not to play against Norway for a series of reasons. Because considering some of the things that happened before, it's not appropriate to do it."

Finally Archerby said: "I have to thank my father. He knows nothing about football, but since I started playing football, he has hoped that I can be a professional player. When you are a kid, you need to cultivate this passion. He always protects me and demands from me. He never gives up and keeps me going. I've been a little regretful that I didn't tell him, 'I love you,' and once I dreamed of him before the game, I cried in the bathroom for two hours."
