 "It is not easy to breach the three man defence of the Italian national team, they are very much in sync with each other.

“ We must put pressure on Buffon, Bonucci and Ogbonna because the absence of Chiellini could be an advantage.

“With Napoli we play well against teams that defend in a three, like Juventus, Torino and Chievo.

“The important thing is to be brave and aggressive, without decreasing the intensity and pressure.

“Italy plays as a team, and has a system that works. Eder and Pellè work well together, and De Sciglio and Candreva can do damage on the wings.

“Despite this, I am optimistic about the match, we have the quality needed to compete."
