"I am sure that one match cannot change the attitude of these lads. I am sure of that, we played a good match against Belgium (won 2-0), we started this Euro in the best possible way, but we have not really done anything yet. We have not qualified for the last-16 round yet, which is our first goal here. As I said, let us keep our feet firmly on the ground, let us try to play tomorrow's game as best as we can, let us try to earn a win."

"It is a fact that this is not an especially happy time for Italian football. You rarely see new talents emerge, players who could really do great things. Having said that, we always have to try our best. I do not know if this team should be considered a veteran squad, I just think I have picked 23 players who represent the best that there is, based on my idea of football."

"I think Zlatan is such a strong player that he can play in any league in the world. I don't see any preclusion for him, in any league. He is a player who can make a difference in any team."
