The Italian national team, which was underestimated even by the fans of their own team, showed confident play and already secured a place in the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
In Group E, Antonio Conte's team defeated the Belgians 2-0 and forced the Swedes to capitulate 1-0.
After the last victory, goalkeeper Emanuele Giaccherini praised his teammates.
"Italian footballers showed that they have guts.
The match against Sweden was much tougher than against the Belgians, because we knew they would retreat into defense and not give us any additional space.
In the first half, we were nervous and felt pressure, but in the end, we achieved a deserved victory," said the player who belongs to "Sunderland", but spent last season at "Bologna".
