Antonio Conte: The real star of the Italian team

Conte and Wilmots
Conte thoroughly out-foxed his opposite number Marc Wilmots.

Italy need to avoid getting complacent

Italy World Cup 2014
Italy won their opening game at World Cup 2014 as well, only to be eliminated in the group stages.

It’s easy for the Italians to get carried away. The players have been heavily criticized for the lacking the commitment when wearing the Azzurri jersey, and even the manager has been grilled on his decisions to leave several talented players back home.

A convincing win against one of the tournament favourites should fill them up with confidence, but not complacency. Conte rightly said that this win doesn’t mean anything yet, and ominously reminded the fans of the fact that the Italians had quite vibrantly won their opening game in the 2014 World Cup against a prestigious opponent as well, only to tumble out of the group.
