Italy coach Cesare Prandelli admits their 5-3 friendly win over Fluminense was "interesting".

Borussia Dortmund signing Ciro Immobile netted a hat-trick and Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne bagged a brace, prompting Prandelli to praise the strike duo.

"This evening we saw some interesting things," he told Rai Sport after the match. "Insigne and Immobile did well. We need to have more courage, but our condition is good.

"This is our final day of intense work. We will do some specific work this week and we will go into the match against England ready."
