Italy may have made eight changes but there should be no doubting their desire to win today: that unbeaten record means a lot to them. Here’s Chiellini to ITV just now: “Our secret is the group. Any player can play but nothing changes. We have grown a lot in the last three years and we are very close to an unbelievable record.” As for Wales, he says: “ e know Wales very well. I play with Aaron Ramsey: he has been very unlucky with injuries but when he is fit he is a very intelligent and dangerous player. We are very happy to play against Wales.”
“Wales have been one of the top 15 or 20 teams in Europe for many years. They have good quality – not only physically because they have some technical players. Bale is one of the best players in Europe. I played against him many times in the Premier League and I know his quality. It will be a difficult situation against him.”
