Italy are equal top of the group with tomorrow’s opponents after their 2-1 opening win over Albania.

“I want to see an Italy that repeats the good performance of the first match,” said the former Napoli scudetto winning manager.

“In front of us we will have Spain, one of the best football schools in the world, but we have a crazy desire to show that our team is also important.”

“The key,” he added, speaking to Sky, “is always good play and keeping the ball.

“Even if with Spain that presses high and keeps its defensive line high, you need some more verticalisation.

“You win by verticalising the game.”

Spain won 3-0 in their first game against Croatia.
