Last summer's European Championship was surprising for everyone, Antonio Conte gave a great performance with Italy who were believed to be a title contender until they met Germany in the quarter-finals. Joachim Low's side played a serious match against the Italians and got to defeat them in the penalty kick shootout. This hurt many Italian players really bad because they truly felt they had a chance to win the tournament, they are eager to face Germany again and get some sort of revenge.
Their new manager Giampiero Ventura confirmed it this Monday talking to reporters: "There is obviously a will to get revenge after defeat at the Euros. I believe that is normal, but the performance is more important than the result. Germany are the most well-organised side on the planet, so it's not the best game to experiment in but I'm not fearful - we try to play football and win every game. A weaker opponent would have been better to try some new things. Italy v Germany is a big fixture that cannot be disregarded.
"Results matter but you need to look at the bigger picture, obviously with an eye on planning. Our future is not just tomorrow. The Germany game must offer a glance into the future that we want. My debut was against France [a 3-1 home friendly loss in September] and people only spoke about the result, but my aim is to care for the young players. The result will matter and I know that. However, there will be other things to look at after the match. After we play Germany we have to understand what the match taught us. They are the world champions."
He added: "I'm proud to be Italy coach. There is a will to develop and be involved and I don't have regrets. I have always come into jobs where there's a need to rebuild. So now I feel comfortable doing so. To achieve your objectives, a complete program is needed. You need a system and Germany are a good example of that. I didn't quite understand the difficulties of international management before. There is a will to work but more time is needed."
