Antonio Conte prepares for his Italy debut against Holland tomorrow, but is tight-lipped on the formation. “Salvatore Sirigu will play.”
The Azzurri Coach has his first outing at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari on Thursday evening.
“I have the formation in my mind,” he said in a Press conference. “Sirigu will play in goal, but the rest you’ll see when they run out.
“I have to hope for the best. Nobody likes to lose, but defeats have brought us into successful campaigns, including Lippi before the World Cup.
“I want to start well, as it’s a friendly against a strong team who were third at the World Cup with a consolidated side. We want to show that we’re in this to do it right.
“What do I wish for tomorrow? To sleep a little more, as I barely got any sleep last night. But I thought a great deal and good ideas come to you in those situations too.
“My daughter and my wife will be at the stadium. My daughter was born here, when I was the Coach of Bari, which is one more reason to be happy here.”
