Italy Head Coach Antonio Conte giving a morning rest to the players while having only a an afternoon training session on Thursday 4 June 2014 at the Technical Center of Coverciano.

As reported by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the Azzurri played an internal match (two halves, each of them lasting 30 minutes) which saw the “yellow” team prevail 4-3 over the “blue” side. The winning team netted through Stephan El Shaarawy, Antonio Candreva and Daniele De Rossi in the first half and then Andrea Ranocchia in the second; the blue team tried to stage a comeback, but Rossettini’s effort and Vazquez’s brace were not enough.

Federico Marchetti, Alessandro Florenzi, Simone Zaza and Soriano were rested, while forward Manolo Gabbiadini trained regularly and also took to the pitch in the test match.

Head coach Conte will announce the call-ups for the European Qualifier against Croatia this Saturday and the Azzurri will meet in Coverciano once again this Sunday. The EURO 2016 qualifier against Croatia will take place in Split on 12th June.

CRISTIAN BROCCHI PROUD TO REACH THE FINAL-8

AC Milan

MILAN – Youth team coach Cristian Brocchi spoke at Milanello earlier today. Here were his thoughts on a range of themes:

“Sport has taught me how to live and indicating the right path to young people is one of the best things possible. There are other sides with more pressure on them than us. We’re a young team, but reaching the Final-8 makes us proud. Since it is not yet official about Sinisa Mihajlovic, I cannot add anything more to than what you are telling me. He is a person that we all know, we know he has a very strong character, he’s highly motivated and has a big desire to do well. Let’s hope he can take Milan back to the places that it deserves to be.

“I experienced many years and many triumphs with Inzaghi as a player. It’s sad that a former team-mate and a friend hasn’t done well and not obtained the results that had been set out at the start. I am sorry, but I am sure that he will have other opportunities and show what his values are. At this moment many things have been said, but I have always said that I am continuing on my path. I am very happy, these wonderful lads are teaching me a lot.

“The President respects me and he has followed up close my development. The fact that he is talking well about me and the youth sector is great. It’s hard to say what needs to change, I think there is a good foundation of players that can achieve something positive. With the arrival of other players, I think that Milan can go back to being an important club in the Italian championship.”

ITALY TEAM: EL SHAARAWY ON THE SCORE-SHEET IN PRACTICE MATCH

AC Milan, Italian National Team

MILAN – After being given the morning off to recover by head coach Antonio Conte, the Italian national team trained again in very hot conditions this afternoon at Coverciano. The Azzurri took part in a practice match between ranks, 30 minutes per half, and it ended 4-3 for the team in yellow thanks to goals from Milan’s El Shaarawy, Candreva, De Rossi and Ranocchia. Rossettini and Vazquez (2) were on the score-sheet for the blue team.

Individuals: Marchetti, Florenzi, Zaza and Soriano rested while Gabbiadini played the second half of the practice match.

Today’s practice match brings to an end the training camp and this Saturday Conte will name his squad for Italy’s EURO 2016 qualifier with Croatia scheduled for the 12th of June in Split.
