I haven't spoken to Mancini for the last six months. He did a wonderful job winning the European Championship. I have known him for 20 years. What he directed is different from today's .
You know me very well. After the match with Moldova, where we stamped the ticket for the European Championship, now six months later, the feelings are the same. The team is very motivated. We will make it and we will do the best we can ."
Italy - Italy is a top team. We will aim to come out with points. We know that when they enter the field, they will enter for victory and of course to triumph in this competition.
" We know what game awaits us. We will go and fight for every point. It's a tough race, it's not easy. Anything can happen, we will try ."
Opponents in "EURO 2024" – “ We know what a big competition this is. We know how big our opponents are. In 2018, we were in the World Cup with Brazil and we played a match as equal, with Switzerland, and in some cases when you want to win a match, it becomes very difficult even for the favorites on paper. Italy cannot afford too many mistakes. We will go out on the field and fight for every point and then we will see what happens .
We have studied all our opponents during the last weeks, where we have obviously focused a lot on Italy, especially the last week, where we have been working for 8 days, which is very important in the world of football. Obviously, the first game will be the most important. We have prepared properly and we expect to do well against Italy ", said the Brazilian technician.
