Florenzi put through his paces with international team-mate quiz

Alessandro Florenzi has had his national team-mate knowledge put to the test in a light-hearted YouTube video from the Italian FA.

Among the team-mates Florenzi was tested on were fellow Roma players Stephan El Shaarawy and Daniele De Rossi.

Florenzi was asked which artist El Shaarawy had gone on stage with two years ago, while the De Rossi question inquired why the Roma central midfielder wears the No.16 shirt for club and country.

While Florenzi got the El Shaarawy question wrong, he was in no doubt as to why De Rossi chose No.16 - even disputing the official answer given.

Below are the two questions Florenzi was asked about his Roma team-mates.

Which artist did El Shaarawy go on stage with two years ago?

“I want to say Fede… [Reads answer] ... Wrong! It was Emis Killa.”

Why does De Rossi wear the No.16 shirt?

“In honour of Roy Keane… [Reads answer, which says it’s actually because of his daughter’s date of birth]. It’s more for Keane than for his daughter, I’m telling you!”

Florenzi was also asked which five national-team players, apart from Federico Bernardeschi, are younger than him. “El Shaarawy, [Stefano] Sturaro, [Mattia] De Sciglio, [Lorenzo] Insigne and [Simone] Zaza,” Florenzi answered correctly.

Florenzi, who was Roma’s second-highest appearance maker in the 2015-16 season with 41, was an unused substitute for Italy’s first Euro 2016 game against Belgium on Monday.

He’ll be with his team-mates in Toulouse on Friday as the Azzurri take on Sweden in the second round of Group E matches.
