Fernando Llorente believes Antonio Conte “inspires uncommon strength” in Italy as they prepare to face Spain.
The Euro 2016 knockout tie is in Paris tomorrow at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).
“These are two of the best teams in the world, even if we haven’t been very fortunate over the last few games,” ex-Juventus striker Llorente told Marca.
“It is going to be an exciting encounter and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Italy no longer have the individuals like Christian Vieri or Francesco Totti, but still a great deal of talent.
“They have a team of very good players with great determination to win thanks to Conte, who inspires uncommon strength in his men.
“Conte gives his teams solidity, even if they are missing important injured players like Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti.
“They are also without Andrea Pirlo, a magnificent player who has so much quality. You just need to see him in training to realise how spectacular his moves can be.”
