FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio declares “the minimum aim" for Italy is to reach the semi-finals of the Under-21 European Championships.
The Azzurri get underway in Poland on Sunday, when they face Denmark in Krakow, and the head of the Federation is expecting a deep run in the tournament.
“The minimum aim is to reach the semi-finals,” Tavecchio told reporters at Coverciano.
“The final is the most important objective. The other teams have also made progress, and facing them won’t be a small thing.

“We made reforms two years ago, and we’re going from there. It’s an excellent result for the Federation to see this young team so attached to the Italy shirt.
“There’s a lot of expectation, because we have big objectives. We’ve already achieved the goal of having the best squad available to the Coach [Luigi Di Biagio].”
