Italy coach Cesare Prandelli was full of praise for England after their World Cup win on Saturday.
Prandelli declared the Three Lions a "great team" after the Azzurri's 2-1 triumph.
"We know England have changed a lot in the last few years," said Prandelli. "They used to play with long balls and headers. Now England are very good playing in triangles and one on one. They really have one the strongest attacks in the World Cup. I've been really consistent in what I've been saying: we played against a great team."
