Scalvini said in the press conference before the match: "The France national team is strong, and it is one of the best teams in the world. In attack, they have quality and speed more than most teams, and we will analyze the opponent with the coach to know how to deal with them."
The Italian defender added: "We are in good shape and have the courage, and we will try to give our best. We will go there and give everything we have for a positive result," confirming that the victory over Turkey provided the players with an important morale boost.
