The Road to Wembley

One of the most important things in Italy is football. After the disappointments of South Africa's World Cup in 2010, Brazil's World Cup 2014 and the elimination by Sweden for the qualification for the World Cup in Russia, this European football Championship represents a great opportunity for redemption. The coach is Roberto Mancini and, for the moment, his score is very good because Italy has been undefeated for 27 matches. The first match of this competition will be played in Rome. There are many expectations for this national team because there are very good players and they are very young too. The first opponents will be Turkey, Switzerland and Wales. There are good possibilities that Italy passes the stage, but it will be important to start with a victory. Furthermore, the match against Turkey will be the first of the competition and before the game Andrea Bocelli, one of the most famous Italian tenors, will sing "Nessun Dorma" a famous Italian opera aria. It isn't the first time that an Italian singer inaugurates a football competition; in fact in Italy's '90 World Cup Gianna Nannini and Edoardo Bennato sang "Notti Magiche" before the first match. In that circumstance Italy was eliminated by the Argentina of Diego Armando Maradona. The hope is that Roberto Mancini and his boys will win "Euro 2020".
