Antonio Conte tested out a 3-5-2 system in the first day of pre-Euro 2016 training with Daniele De Rossi as playmaker.
The Coach has called up 27 players for a preliminary training camp, as he must wait for the Italian season to end with this Saturday’s Coppa Italia Final.
It is an opportunity to get a closer look at some of the players who emerged from this campaign and decide if they warrant a full call-up to the provisional squad.

Antonio Conte tested out a 3-5-2 system in the first day of pre-Euro 2016 training with Daniele De Rossi as playmaker.
The Coach has called up 27 players for a preliminary training camp, as he must wait for the Italian season to end with this Saturday’s Coppa Italia Final.
It is an opportunity to get a closer look at some of the players who emerged from this campaign and decide if they warrant a full call-up to the provisional squad.
After fitness tests, gym work and passing practice, the team was set out in a 3-5-2 formation.
In the red shirts were Lorenzo Tonelli, Angelo Ogbonna and Davide Zappacosta in defence, with De Rossi as playmaker.
Antonio Candreva and Stephan El Shaarawy took the wide roles with Alessandro Florenzi and Emanuele Giaccherini in midfield.
Graziano Pellè and Fabio Borini formed one strike partnership, later alternated with Ciro Immobile and Eder.
In the blue jerseys the defence was formed of Armando Izzo, Francesco Acerbi and Davide Astori.
Lorenzo De Silvestri was on the right, Federico Bernardeschi the left, Jorginho as playmaker with Danilo Cataldi and Marco Parolo.
Roberto Soriano and Marco Benassi also stepped in to the midfield positions.
Leonardo Pavoletti partnered Lorenzo Insigne in attack.
They played a game between ranks and Immobile was on target, while Genoa striker Pavoletti saw his goal ruled offside.
