Intro:
Graziano Pelle will start up front for Italy against the country where he plays his football, England, following Antonio Conte's team selection for the friendly international in Turin.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (Italian) Antonio Conte, Italy coach: (Referring to Internet death threats following a knee injury to Juventus' Claudio Marchisio in training ahead of Bulgaria match).
"Fans must support Italy. I think I have an excellent relationship with the Italian fans. They know we are working hard - me, the players and the staff. They know we are in a difficult moment, and when you are giving your best you always expect to be appreciated for your work."
SOUNDBITE (Italian) Antonio Conte, Italy coach:
"I will keep going in my job, I know it won't be easy but I'd like to quote (1980 Olympic 200 metre champion from Italy) Pietro Mennea when he said 'great dreams needs great labour to come true.'"
SOUNDBITE (Italian) Gianluigi Buffon, Italy captain: (On England forward Harry Kane who will start for the first time after scoring on his debut as a substitute against Lithuania).
"Well, he is the player of the day in England and the United Kingdom. Me and the other goalkeepers we saw some videos and he will be one to fear, as will (Wayne) Rooney and all the England strikers."
