Euro 2020 Final: “The fact that we have reached this point, means we’re a strong side too,” Italy Coach Roberto Mancini

Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini in the pre-conference ahead of the UEFA Euro 2020 Final on Sunday 11 July at Wembley Stadium in London, England at 21:00.   This is the final step towards the main objective which is to win the Euro 2020.   The task is a real challenge and the winner mental attitude is present.

On the game against England, Mancini said,  “I’m not worried, though maybe I will be tomorrow. We have a tough game ahead and we’ll have to concentrate on our own game and trying to carry out our game plan as best we can. We have these last 90 minutes to enjoy ourselves. We’ll try to do what we know we can do and what has got us to this point.”

Mancini knows that he has the chance to win a trophy that he never won as a player. “I had the chance to play for Italy and didn’t even manage to win the Under-21 Euros, which we would have deserved, nor the World Cup at Italia ’90. It’s a really important time for me and I hope to take some satisfaction from this, which I didn’t as a player – even if I played in a really strong side.” On 11 July 1982 in Madrid, Italy lifted their third World Cup title to the sky, and Mancini was wearing a jacket as an homage to that one worn 39 years ago by Enzo Bearzot: “I hope that this date can bring Italians luck a second time.”

Mancini: “We have these last 90 minutes to enjoy ourselves, we hope to hear our fans at full time”

 

England have reached  their first European final as an extremely solid outfit. They won their group with just two goals scored from open play, put up the defensive wall to get through the Round of 16 against Germany and fought hard to beat Denmark in the semi-final. Though they did romp past Ukraine in Rome in the quarter-final. The bookmakers have England as the slight favourite over Italy, who – for the first time in this tournament – are not the bookies’ favourites to win a match. “England are a strong team. They have some brilliant players and a lot of depth. But the fact that we have reached this point, means we’re a strong side too. Sterling? He’s so quick. He’s improved immeasurably and we’ll need to watch out for him. But all of their forwards are talented. They have so much pace and are good on the ball. ”The Italy players are, on average, slightly shorter than their English counterparts: “England are physically stronger than us but football is played with the ball on the ground and we hope to do this better than them. Sometimes, the smaller guy wins; it has happened in the past and I hope it can happen again tomorrow.”

Wembley will, this time, not be a sea of Azzurro, as it was for the Spain game. Instead, the crowd will do all they can to spur England on to the nation’s first-ever European championship: “I think it’ll be a great game in a full stadium and this is g

Italy Captain Giorgio Chiellini is more than motivated to inspire the team to win the UEFA Euro 2020 Final on Sunday 11 July at Wembley Stadium in London, England at 21:00.

Chiellini, during the pre-conference on Saturday 10 July in Wembley, said,  “Tomorrow, we’ll need to have a strong heart and a clear head. There will be moments when we need to brave and others when we need to be flexible. You can’t go into a game thinking you’ll be in control for the full 90 minutes. It’s a final and we’ll need to take care of the details in order to win it. Games like these may not come along again for me in my playing career – it’s special to be a part of it. We’re aware of just how important this game is. Light-heartedness and a little bit of madness have got us this far and we’ll need them tomorrow if we’re to win this cup.”

On England forward Harry Kane, Chiellini said,  “The first time I say Kane play was during a friendly in Turin and England and I was struck by his vast array of qualities. I’m a really big fan of his and you can now ask Paratici, who will have the fortune to watch him at Spurs.”

To those who asked whether he expected to reach the final, our captain said: “The growing feeling was that we’d have a good tournament. After the win over the Czech Republic, we felt that something big might happen. I think that kicking off the tournament in front of our fans in Rome gave us that final push. Now, we just have that extra yard to go in order to do something incredible, all together.”
