"We know that they are very strong," he told Sky Sport 24. "They've already proved that they are the best in the world.

"However, we'll play a great game because we want to show everybody how good we are as a team too.

"We can certainly beat Spain. We are a new team who need to improve, but we've already done some important things."

Italy boss Cesare Prandelli indicated earlier today that Rossi will start in attack at Bari's San Nicola on Wednesday.
