"All the players in our team are fit and feeling good, so I am spoilt for choice when deciding the squad for the match against Ukraine. At the moment we have quality in everything and important potential for the upcoming match. Therefore, we came to Germany with the confidence that we will get the result we need here.

Chiesa and other players have returned to full training and they know how to improve our game even more, so on Monday we will introduce new elements that can be the strengths of this national team.

As for our opponent, the Ukraine national team has a strong, powerful attack, and this team has players suitable for the European leagues in which they are currently playing. So we will have to behave as a team and do our best. And the importance of the match says that we will have to go beyond our capabilities. We want the Italians to fall in love with this team and this is the right moment for that. It is the right moment to make a leap in our level," Spalletti said while speaking to reporters before the Italian national team left for Leverkusen, where they arrived last night.
