Roberto Mancini led Italy to Euro 2020 glory but failed to get them into the 2022 World Cup

England is one of the best teams in the world according to Italy's Roberto Mancini.

Italy beat England in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley but have not qualified for the World Cup.

England qualified for the Nations League but haven't won a game and are in danger of being demoted.

The English team is good.

The team in Euro 2020 was a great one.

If England lose in Milan or at home to Germany, they will be demoted to League B.

I think England is a great team. It's full of talent, especially the forwards, according to the former Manchester City boss.

The young players around Harry Kane can make a difference. It will be very difficult for us.

Italy's rebirth

Leonardo Bonucci said that England's visit to Milan will show where his squad is at.

"After failing to qualify for the World Cup the coach has changed many players, so on Friday we will understand where we really are, where we need to improve and if there is anything to improve."

The match will tell us where we are in the rebirth.

This will be the best match that can be started again and to build something important for the future.

England are a great team and we need to pay attention to their individual qualities because they have very talented players who can change the match in a second.

Henderson to miss out

Jordan Henderson will be fit to play for England in the Germany game, despite being injured.

He replaced KalvinPhillips in the squad.

When you are winning, you may not reflect as much on why you are winning or some of the things that aren't quite right.

You reflect on everything when you lose like we did. That is a good process.

I've been through a difficult run of results before and that's helpful. That would be more of a concern if you didn't know why.
