Euro 2020 draw: Roberto Mancini wary of Italy's opponents

The Hindu  

Roberto Mancini has warned Italy not to underestimate the less glamorous teams joining them in Group A at Euro 2020. But in 2016 semifinalist Wales, a talented Turkey team and a Switzerland side boasting the best FIFA ranking of the four, Mancini found hidden demons. "Switzerland know us well and are always annoying to face, Wales can be a surprise with players in the Premier League and Turkey took four points from France in their qualifying group. Euro 2020 will mark Italy's first appearance at a major tournament in four years, following the shock failure to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
