Italy Head Coach Antonio Conte directing the morning training behind closed doors on Wednesday 15 June 2016 at the Bernard Gasset Sports Centre in Montpellier. Conte is preparing the EURO 2016 match 2, Italy vs Sweden to be played on Friday 19 June at the Stadium Municipal in Toulouse, France at 15:00. Italy leading Group E after Matchday 1 with 3 points and a positive goal difference of +2.
This is a special match because if Italy defeat Sweden, Italy would guarantee passage to the knock-out stages. Hence, the importance for the players to train with all their heart and concentrate on the victory. I n case of victory, 3 points would take Italy closer to winning the group which would be confirmed as long as Belgium do not lose to the Republic of Ireland in Bordeaux in Saturday’s group E game.
