It’s just a party mood in Italy! Yep, Italy National team defeating Sweden on Friday 17 June qualifying to the UEFA EURO last 16 with a game to spare.
Italy Head Coach Antonio Conte, saying, “Qualification makes us proud and we are living the dream at the moment. We hit the woodwork, scored and we could have doubled the lead. I saw some anxiousness and nerves in the players, especially in the first half when we made too many mistakes. They did well to grind things out, to hang in there and do damage when the opportunity was there.
Conte also sending a message to the fans, “Wear the blue shirt, it’s a strong symbol of our identity. There were 9,000 fans at the stadium but you could only see the Sweden colours.”
