Christian Benteke spoke to the media as Belgium make their final preparations for Euro 2016,

SOUNDBITE: (English) Christian Benteke, Belgium:

"We have a very good strength, a very good generation. We have some good players and now we have to show everything on the pitch and that's the reality."

(Question: Are you feeling any pressure to deliver at this tournament?)

"No, I would say..like, positive pressure like, to do well, to help the team and to go as far as we can."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Christian Benteke, Belgium:

"Everybody is talking about semi-finals and the final for us…but first we need to pass the first round - that would be good and we will take each game one by one after that. We will see."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Christian Benteke, Belgium:

(Question: Can the game against Italy decide the rest of the tournament?"

"Yeah a key moment for sure but maybe that is too big a word for it. It is true that it is going to be a very important game. The first game is where you can gain confidence and so I think it is going to be 50/50 for both teams."
