Sandro Morgana, head of the Azzurrini’s delegation, added: “They have courage and desire and they’re a very cohesive group.
“It would cap off a wonderful adventure, made possible by team’s football and not just on the pitch.
“There was complete synergy between the technical staff and organisational staff. That’s why we’ve got this far.”
