feels affected.”. Alessandro Florenzi also felt compelled to comment on the Brussels attacks during the press conference: “I was very sorry to learn about this new situation. I spoke about it with my team mates but we have to go ahead and not let ourselves get scared. I spoke with Nainggolan on the phone and he was shaken like everybody.”. In the meantime, there are still two important games to prepare for and the Spain friendly on Thursday will be a good test for the Euros. “The key thing might be to try and stop them playing because they are possibly the strongest team in world football when it comes to keeping the ball,” warned the Roma player, “We will have to go into the match without fear and look to show our own strengths.”. While Spain and Germany are among the favourites for the Euros, Italy will kick off their campaign in France against the number one ranked team in the world: “Belgium have lots of great players, I know one of them particularly well (Nainggolan, Ed.). Sweden are also a good side but I'm certain that to stop Ibrahimovic is to stop at least 50% of Sweden.”. Conte's announcement that he will leave the Italy job after the Euros has not had any effect on the spirit within the camp according to Florenzi. “Absolutely nothing has changed.”, he declared, “We are all aiming to perform well in these Euros. We've found the boss as committed and motivated as ever. If it was different, he would have said to us 'go out and enjoy yourselves' but instead he's made us do two training sessions and study Spain with a magnifying glass.”. Florenzi also spoke about his strong bond with De Rossi: “He's had some issues that he's working through, he's training because he wants to do well for Roma and for Italy. His career shows how committed he is to these teams.”. Squad list Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Mattia Perin (Genoa), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint Germain);
