Italy boss Cesare Prandelli has told AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli not to put too much pressure on himself.
Italy's goalscoring hopes will rest on Balotelli's shoulders.
But Prandelli said: "I expect him [Balotelli] to have the consistency he has shown during these recent days.
"He has maximum concentration and a great attention to detail.
"If all the players manage to have this consistency, together we can think about being stronger.
"He shouldn't think about solving all the national team's problems, or to take them on his shoulders. He needs to do his job.
"If he does it with determination, then that is a lot."
