“We can have our say at the Confederations Cup in the summer and the World Cup next year.”
The latest Azzurri squad contained eight Juventus players and five from Serie A rivals Milan.
“The Juventus block? There is a good base on which to build something important,” he added. “Look how well Emanuele Giaccherini played – he’s someone you can always rely on.
“Milan’s Mattia De Sciglio and Mario Balotelli? De Sciglio is a great talent,” he explained of the debutant. “He played a great game.
“Balotelli has important qualities and I congratulated him for his display. When he wants to make the difference then he does.”
