This next match between Portugal and Italy kicks off on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
“We know the value of the Italian Under-21 side and a chunk of the game with Sweden won’t change our minds on their strength,” said Rui Jorge in his Press conference.
“They have great quality in defence, both as a group and in terms of the individual players. Italy are also capable of easily creating dangerous situations with rapid counter-attacks.
“The Azzurrini play in a different style to our last opponents England, but it remains a dangerous approach. We can expect to see an ambitious, hungry side with a real team mentality.”
