Football: Italy need fire inside, says manager Conte

(AGI) - Toulouse, June 16 - Italy manager Antonio Conte said that the team needs to stoke the fire within them in the next match against Sweden. Speaking to Sky Sports on the eve of their second match in Euro2016, he said: "We need a fire inside to burn, a fire that stimulates us and drives us to overcome all the obstacles encountered along our way. Tomorrow we have an important match against Sweden and we have to be prepared to face it in the best possible way." He continued: "We have to reconcile two things - recuperating and preparing for the game - both of which are crucial. We still need to seal qualification, so now we are trying to achieve the goal that we set at the beginning of the tournament, which is to enter the round of 16. Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to do so and we'll have to be clever and focussed. The line up? There will not be many changes." Italy's win against Belgium already represents a bit of revenge against their detractors, "but now we have to follow up with the facts, which are what is most important, and in our case it is the pitch. In short, we are trying to focus on a challenge that is important for us and for them. We want to go forward." The main bogeyman for the Azzurri is called Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "He has matured from all points of view. In him Sweden know they have a great leader. You see that from what they do on the pitch. We need to be very careful because he is a player who can shift the balance." (AGI). .
