During the second day of training at Coverciano, Italy's national team continued in their preparations for the three friendlies against Saudi Arabia, France, and the Netherlands. Defender Mattia Caldara gave some thoughts to the press during a scheduled news conference: "Last year I was fortunate to play in the Euros with the Under 21 team and it was an important experience. There are many players who made the leap to the senior team, there are many of us here and we know that we must perform at our best to bring Italy back to the place it belongs in. I know that the work with Italy and Juventus will be difficult but I want to show my ability to do it, I want to learn a lot, I am someone who is always looking to learn from the best. I am fully committed while I'm on the field. Buffon? It's too bad not to see him in the locker room, he is a legend who has given so much to Italian football.
