This is John Bachelor in conversation with my good colleague Lorenzi

in Italy, the north of Italy, on his way to Switzerland from Italy. We discuss the

big match coming up in these next hours, Italy versus Switzerland in the second round of the European

Championship.

Lorenzo has worries about his beloved Italian team.

I learned from Lorenzo what to watch for and I learned that in the first

round Italy has been slow before but then picks it up. His Lorenzo Fiore

analyzing the prospects for Italy versus Switzerland on his way to the Swiss

Italian border to watch the game match. More of this tonight.

This is a difficult question. Of course, my art is for Italy, but let me tell you that

having seen a TV, the match of Switzerland versus against Germany and Italy against Russia.

Let me tell you that Switzerland seems to be a team that is more athletic and dynamic maybe with more energy than what I can perceive from the

way Italy behave against Russia.

A team playing at a very low speed as it was also against Spain.

So I do hope that maybe the matter of now being in the second cycle of the European tournament, Italy can do better because this happened also in

another important competition in the past.

Italy did not play well in the first round, but when they entered in the second round they played

much better, much better.
