Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi says Italy coach Antonio Conte wants a united squad.
The 22-year-old made the squad for this month's Euro 2016.
“Yes, I think I'm a surprise of the call-ups," he told the Press. “I work for the future. My idol was [Andriy] Shevchenko, but I try to learn from all of the champions that I see and that I have the privilege of playing with.
“My father was always very critical with me, but he helped me grow. I am tough on myself too, in training and in matches."
