Leonardo Bonucci said Antonio Conte has “already given us a precise idea of football” on his Italy debut.
The Juventus defender provided the assist for Ciro Immobile’s opening goal in a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands.
“It is our duty to forget the past, start a new era with Conte and you already saw tonight he has given us a very precise idea of football,” Bonucci told Rai Sport.
“We are still a young squad, as I was captain tonight with not even 40 caps, which means we have a long road ahead of us.”
There are several Juventus and ex-Juve players in the squad who already know Conte’s approach.
“I still have fresh memories of the movements the Coach wants! We tried his ideas tactically from the first day, the same ideas that helped Juventus win three consecutive Scudetti.
“His methods are certainly strong, but in three years at Juve he made us great and we helped him succeed too.
“These 10 days are the right ‘pill’ to absorb his battling spirit.”
