“We have trained well to prepare for this match and didn’t come all the way here just to bow down to Italy,” the Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper said on the official Finnish website.
“The last year has been positive and this is without doubt the best fixture with which to start the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.
“The pressure is all on Italy, who didn’t qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and that was an historic blow to their confidence. On the other hand, we are full of enthusiasm.
“We are here to play and bring home important points.”
