SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Antonio Conte, Italy coach:

"I think we're going through such a particular moment that the only thing we should worry about is working hard. We're like cyclists at the beginning of a stage, so we should only ride head-down, not looking around ourselves, not paying attention to cheers or criticism, but just paying attention to the road ahead of us".

SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Antonio Conte, Italy coach:

"I think playing a beautiful game makes you win and what I try to implement in my teams, including this one, is to make the game beautiful, no matter who you are facing, whether they are weaker or stronger on paper. Always try to be aggressive, to stay tight on the pitch, to always regain ball possession."
