Casiraghi praises Azzurrini form

Azzurrini coach Pierluigi Casiraghi is confident ahead of Saturday’s friendly with England. "I am pleased with the work done."

The Under-21 squad left Italy after a three-day training camp at Borghesiana and will play the last match before the European Championship in Holland in the renovated Wembley Stadium.

"We are in a very good state of form and I am satisfied with what we have done in the past three days," said Casiraghi.

"We will play a match that requires no additional motivations, I am sure the lads will be determined to do well," added the former Lazio man.

"England are a strong side, but we are Italy, a team with many talented players. This test will give us the occasion to see them play and better evaluate their improvements, both as individuals and as a group."
