&lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;For Belgium, it will be their first game as FIFA World Rankings leaders, while Italy will play their first match since winning their European Championship qualification group. Now it’s time to experiment in friendlies and this one will be a very prestigious one. It’s a game that sees Italy return to a stadium that was once the Heysel – today King Baudouin Stadium – that 30 years ago was the scene of a horrific tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &#34;We’re expecting a good game against a team that are now among the favourites for the tournament - said &lt;strong&gt;Antonio Conte&lt;/strong&gt; -. Belgium have very talented players; they recently finished third in the U17 World Cup. Hats off to them for what they’ve done in minimal time, bringing players from the youth national teams to the senior team. There is a lot of important and organised work behind that, it’s almost enviable&#34;.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &#34;We’re preparing for a European Championship, we’re on the eve of an important match, we want to test ourselves against the best teams. We’ll try our best tomorrow. Whatever the final score will be, we won’t have to lose heart or get too excited; we just have to understand how far we’ve come, what we’re doing and what we can achieve. It will be a ‘friendly’. They’ll definitely be motivated to face a team with such rich history like Italy. Personally, I’ll be experimenting tactically ahead of the EUROs. Beyond the final score, which is obviously important, what we want to do is play football and dictate the games. If Belgium eventually prove better than us, we’ll acknowledge that. I’m very happy with all the players called up so far, they’ve always demonstrated a lot of determination. I reiterate once more: in order to achieve extraordinary things, you need extraordinary men and players in the first place. This is my creed and I’ll always follow it&#34;.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &#34;We’re trying to build a team that can overcome struggles. My career taught me that these difficulties are overcome by men first and then by players. These games are helpful to find potential alternatives to the regulars ahead of a tournament where you have the opportunity to call up two players for every position and three goalkeepers. Verratti, Parolo and Soriano have played brilliantly in the last two matches, as did Montolivo and Florenzi against Norway. Games like this are important in order to make the right choices and assemble the most suitable 23-man squad for tournaments like a European Championship or a World Cup. These choices are crucial&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.figc.it&#34;&gt;www.figc.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
