Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has advised Italy on how to beat England when the two sides face off in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
Italy will face England in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday night.
Conte has said that in order to beat England, Italy must target two Three Lions players, Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips, who balance Gareth Southgate.

“There are two very physical midfielders like Rice and Phillips, who bring balance, but very few vertical passes, often going for the simple option,” Conte wrote in his column for La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“A weak point for England is that if their defense is in a hurry when building from behind, they are not as good as Spain at evading the press. However, if you are ultra-attacking in your press and they escape, pay attention to their pace up front.
“Again, this is when Italy has to show their experience in playing the different moments of the game.”
