Di Biagio, "Italy is hopeful but talent won't be enough"

Italy's under 21 Euro campaign starts in one week. Coach Luigi Di Biagio spoke with reporters today on his final preparations for the squad. "It was tough selecting the squad because there were so many talented players available. I'm hopeful we can win, I always was. I can't say we're the favourites because it's always such a hard tournament to win. We have to be ready to face anything. Greatest team of all time? We're one of the strongest in the last twenty years but talent won't be enough. We have to give it our all and not rely on big names."
