Italy coach Antonio Conte has been speaking at a press-conference ahead of tomorrow night’s quarter-final match against Germany. He was first asked about the condition of midfielder Daniele De Rossi to which he replied; “His condition is OK but against a team like Germany you have to have players at 120%. In any case I have great confidence in the whole group so I have no worries about replacements”.

He continued; “We face another very strong who are champions of the world, the most complete team here. We have the upmost respect for them and we are familiar with their play. If we were to go back one month then this game would be no contest; today we are ready to deal with them”.
