“It’s an honour to wear the Italy shirt at the Stadio Olimpico, in my home town, even though last time out it didn’t end well as we lost here in a friendly with Argentina. On Tuesday I’ll have another chance.”
Against Azerbaijan, Antonio Conte adopted a very attack-minded 4-4-2 formation, which he described as 4-2-4, with Candreva wide right.
“We have used many different systems, from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3 and 4-4-2, but we never get confused. We chose this tactic for Baku in order to make life difficult for Azerbaijan.
“It’s not easy to prepare for an international match with so little time, but we always do it with the utmost commitment and I think you can see that.
“Italy are an important footballing nation and in these competitions we always aim to go all the way. The other nations fear us and so it’s only right that we prepare to win every time.”
