“The passion and energy of the fans represent fundamental factors in firing up and motivating the team,” wrote Conte on his Facebook page.

“The Azzurri are representing the Nazionale and therefore all those who, game after game, support them in the stadium or at home.

“I’d love for all of us to feel united by wearing the Azzurri colours that has always represented a sign of our identity.

“All together! Forza Azzurri!”

The Coach had noted Sweden’s fans seemed more of a unit by wearing yellow, so urged Italian supporters to turn up in blue for Wednesday’s next match against the Republic of Ireland.
