Speaking to Rai, Italy's Coach said that he wasn't sure whether he was "taking four or five strikers to Euro 2016".

Conte then outlined his team philosophy: ​"I want a team with personality, it will be the team that highlights its members' talent. I'm an optimist, and I want to dream. I don't know if quarter-final qualification can be considered a success, but I know that we're capable of surprising you".

With regards to Daniele De Rossi, he said: "His Achilles tendon strain seems to have returned, but he's in pretty god shape. I need to test him now, to see how he reacts to the pressures of a live game.
​On Eder : "It's true that he's only scored a goal in six months at Inter, but he's scored 13 throughout the whole season and he's the highest-scoring of the 30 Azzurri I have available [not if you'd called up Pavoletti, but never mind.... ed.] And anyway, I'm not interested in statistics.

​Federation president Carlo Tavecchio meanwhile reminded the assembled press that the FIGC would choose Conte's successor by June 7th.
