"Of course, this is not a match like the others for me. I built my career in Italy and also found the perfect country to spend my life with my family. On Saturday, however, there will be no such pleasantries. This is a last-16 match and there will be no room for emotion.

We don't want to change ourselves. The tactics will be refined by the weekend, but the system and philosophy will not change. The group stage shows that we are on the right track. Even if we are now, we need to take one more step forward.

A beautiful and special match awaits us. I would put them in the top three among the national teams. But first of all, it will be a tough match. The favorite is definitely the Azzurri," Corriere di Torino quoted Froehler as saying.
