they have not lost a game in over three years under roberto mancini.haps the final that everyone wanted, england, on home soil, will have huge home advantage and perhaps this is the year that they can finally emulate sir alf ramsey's heroes of 1966. here is our sports correspondence. come on, england! it is football's christmas eve. some fans are already at wembley, like kids impatient to unwrap their biggest present, but who can blame them? 55 years is a long time to wait. we need it this year, after the time we've had, we need some of this, we need excitement, to be behind our country. southgate hasjust managed to find something that has brought togetherness, and theyjust seem as if they can do it this time. 55 years, not in my lifetime have i seen anything like this. - this was our moment to represent our time. the near misses and the tournaments that haven't gone so well weren't so important for this team. over the last four years, they've knocked down so many barriers, so their resilience and experience as a team have really prepared them well for

that is roberto mancini who has introduced it. they seem to be enjoying — introduced it.eat to— enjoying their football, which is great to see. enjoying their football, which is great to see-— enjoying their football, which is great to see. let's talk about the ro . ress great to see. let's talk about the progress this _ great to see. let's talk about the progress this team _ great to see. let's talk about the progress this team of _ great to see. let's talk about the progress this team of vets - great to see. let's talk about the progress this team of vets and i great to see. let's talk about the progress this team of vets and is| progress this team of vets and is not qualified for the world cup in 2018. roberto mancini came in two months after that. why are italy in this final? he months after that. why are italy in this final? ., ., ,., ., this final? he got rid of some of the older players _ this final? he got rid of some of the older players that _ this final? he got rid of some of the older players that had - this final? he got rid of some of the older players that

mancini has made them really attractive, lovely attacking football, it's the kind of football you wantdation and all of the successes we've had since he has come in are based on that, on making england difficult to beat. which is going to be a challenge for italy. so there is a kind ofjuxtaposition of where the teams have previously been on the teams have previously been on the way they play football, and what we will see tomorrow when they face up. i think you will see from england a very secure defence minded, pragmatic style, and hopefully we will have to rely on the quality of people like harry kane and raheem sterling. yes. now, we have got — kane and raheem sterling. yes. now, we have got anthony _ kane and raheem sterling. yes. now, we have got anthony on _ kane and raheem sterling. yes. now, we have got anthony on the _ kane and raheem sterling. yes. now, we have got anthony on the phone. i we have got anthony on the phone. can you believe that the technology has let us down now? can you hear us, anthony customer sorry about the technical problems. this item doesn't work withou

suddenly, roberto mancini came in, help the players, gave them confidence and self to believe, i thinks the overriding feeling of this championship. the italians are enjoying themselves and they have now had 30 for unbeaten matches. roberto mancini has brought back the smiles to this country, which they have really needed the coronavirus pandemic. mancini knew from the first time — she said — he knew he could bring the italian team here when he took over in 2018. he has kind of taken victory from the jaws of defeat, i suppose, that sense of desolation when he took over and yet he has built italy backup. he has built up great players, chiesa. he has given the italians believe in themselves again. they will try and keep them on for as long as they can, i imagine. he looks like he is having a great time and i am sure he will be enjoying the party as well. it is for a cog in the morning there. —— four o'clock. our correspondent simonjones is in leicester square in central london. miserable weather here, miserable mood amongst the england fans. they were hoping it would be different this ti

let's hear from italy's manager roberto mancini speaking to the press ahead of the game...hat's wonderful news for football lovers everywhere. so, i think it will be a great day, it will be a great day to play this match, and we know they have a lot of quality. so, we will see how the game pans out. if england have made it to the final, it shows that they are a great side. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson is in rome. roberto mancini has been credited with a renaissance when it comes to the italian football team.— the italian football team. there is a lot of confidence _ the italian football team. there is a lot of confidence in _ the italian football team. there is a lot of confidence in the - the italian football team. there is a lot of confidence in the italian i a lot of confidence in the italian football site here but you try and get anyone here to say they actually think italy is going to win tonight, there is a huge amount of superstition around and everyone you speak to says they are very hopeful, but they are not going to go that far and predict the outcome. it is

the job mancini has done is absolutely phenomenal. and as i say, it's the difference. you know, yes, italy are always go to defense. we know that. but now that happy to attack as well and get more than just one go. and i think that means tonight's final is going to be really, really intriguing. if england does managed to win this final, what will it mean for the country after 55 years of heard? yes, a long time isn't. it doesn't come along very often for them, fans. i mean they're already going absolutely balmy. i'm in the streets of filled with daunting and flags and everything i've been looking on. social media, people are worried actually the, the match is happening so late in the evening. they were the people will spend the whole day in the pope and they'll be drunk before the game. never mind after it because we normally play football in the afternoon in england on the weekend. so yeah, it's a, it's a massive moment, but i do feel the actually getting to the final is the kind of most important achievement. because in the last 3 big semifinals, in the distant past

a spaniards still, mancini sees the fixture as being even the thought. it was by edison italy, in spain or in the semi finals that means they have deserved it from both of their own merits. and the fact that i think we have a 50 percent chance pursuant. obviously, i know i'm in the previous match, standout player leonardo spin us all at all. his achilles tendon and italy, 2nd, full back to get into that. the tournament a glimmer of hope for spain, who have no such injury concerns, but scraped past switzerland after penalties in the quarter final. they do have the better recent record in this fixture though, spain have lost just twice to italy and the last 13 encounters winning 7. however, given the choice between the 2 countries, dishes, british predicted dog, the psychic sausage was tempted by the serrano but eventually chose the lives on. yeah. to wimbledon, tennis engineers, owns, has set new benchmarks for arab women in her way to the quarter finals. she is the 1st arab woman to get this far in the tournament. she had to come from behind the guys, po

but suddenly roberto mancini came in, transformed the team, giving it youthful players in confidenceoy and i think that is what is the overriding feeling throughout this entire european championship here in italy, a sensejust that the championship here in italy, a sense just that the italians were enjoying themselves and they now have 31! unbeaten matches and roberto mancini has brought the smiles back to a country that sorely needed them after these 18 months of hell with the coronavirus pandemic. you know, as one football comitatus at the me a couple of days ago, mancini knew from the first time that he said he knew he could bring the italian team here when he took over in 2018. he kind of has taken victory from the jaws of defeat, i suppose, but sense of desolation when he took over, and yet he has built italy back up, he has brought in youthful players, he has a, immobiliser, he has brought the italians a sense of kind of living themselves once again. and i'm sure that, you know, they will try to keep him on as long as they came into the qualification for the next world cup and y

roberto mancini will be ensuring that his team are ready for that huge game. these two. spain got off to a slow start. they drew their opening two matches and they had that positive covid tests for one of their major players. there was that embarrassing own goal against croatia as well. it has been a tough start for spain throughout this tournament when you consider the abuse that the striker alvaro morata suffered as well, but they have come together and galvanised and it seems together and galvanised and it seems to be a theme of this tournament when you consider that with the absence of some of the big players like cristiano ronaldo, it has been the collective which has been at the heart of performances from those nations remaining, as opposed to the individual performances which have stood out so far. it is all set up beautifully ahead of those big semifinals, italy against spain tomorrow night and then of course, england against denmark, a match which needs no introduction. that is it from wembley. back to chetan at wimbledon as we await emma raducanu as

as well as the great feeling, a sense of pride to see the duty of 34 games on beaten led by rober mancini, who had clearly created a very strong team here bringing that final and bringing that car back to rome. the 1st when in the european championships since 968, and let's not forget, they didn't qualify for the world cup back in 2017. and that of course was a real down point. but now are things been lifted up? the papers, the sporting paper saying it all through a bellow is the headline for like to get to the left part and that means that it was just too beautiful for the career. then a sport, another sport paper, it's ours and all that. all. and people sport saying simply, it's now is only ours. so essentially, really an overwhelming sense of cry. today the team is expected to meet with the italian president of martha rella, as well as the prime minister model. and you know, we have mentioned that it was coming of course, against the backdrop, a very difficult year and a half in italy, which has been hard hit by the corona virus pandemic in that context. fema. how important is this whe

the job mancini has done is absolutely phenomenal. and as i say, it's the difference. you know, yes, italy are always go to defense. we know that. but now that happy to attack as well and get more than just one go. and i think that mean tonight's final is going to be really, really intriguing. if england does manage to win this final, what will it mean for the country after 55 years of hurt? yeah, it's a long time, isn't it? it doesn't come on very often for them, fans. i mean, they're already going absolutely, by me. i'm in the streets of filled with the wanting and flags and everything i've been looking on. social media, people are worried actually the, the match is happening so late in the evening. they were the people will spend the whole day in the pope and they'll be drunk before the game. never mind after it because we normally play football in the afternoon in england on the weekend. so yeah it's, it's a massive moment, but i do feel the actually getting to the final is the kind of most important achievement. because in the last 3 big semifinals, in the distant

roberto mancini will be wondering what he can too, will be wondering what he can too, will he make changesnal 45 minutes? it will be fascinating, these players, can they dare to believe now that this could finally happen? that long wait for a major win at a major tournaments. you go all the way back tournaments. you go all the way back to 1966, when sir bobby moore climbed the stairs here at the old wembley stadium to pick up thejules rimet trophy, that solitary win on the bigger stage back in 1966. you think about the heartache that has followed, no final appearances. the 1990 world cup, chris waddle, of course, missing that penalty at italia 90. gareth southgate, we spoke so many about his disappointments as a player and his penalty miss at euro 96 when england were knocked out against germany. but signs of progress, signs are perhaps things were changing when they made it through to the semifinal at the last world cup in 2018. they came through that penalty shoot—out victory against colombia, we've seen them win knockout matches at this tournament already. they won their opening match o
