“It might seem easy, but it’s not, and it is up to us to make it seem easy with our effort, concentration and determination,” the assistant manager told Rai Sport.
“Even if there are many new faces, we want to see the movements become more natural as time goes on.”
Napoli right-back Di Lorenzo is the only player making his absolute Italy debut, though there are 10 changes from the starting XI that beat Greece 2-0 on Saturday.
“It is a game he deserves, as he has shown what he can do at Napoli and earned this opportunity.”
