​EURO2016: Italy's Florenzi looking forward to Germany clash

Alessandro Florenzi believes Italy "can do something really huge" as they prepare to face Germany in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals on Saturday, reports BBC Sport.

The Italians have looked one of the most impressive sides so far in France and beat holders Spain 2-0 in the round of 16.

"For some games, you don't even need to motivate yourself – it comes naturally. It will be the same against Germany," said Florenzi.

"They're world champions and they have confidence. We're slowly building our confidence levels.

"We've got to find Germany deficits - there are not many of them, but it's not words now that matter, but what we say on the field."
