LUCIANO SPALLETTI wants perfect 10s from his Italy stars lining up in one of the biggest games of his career.
The Azzurri coach, 65, is looking for all-round excellence as the two nations responsible for winning three of the last four Euros go head to head.
Spalletti pointed to England's John Stones as a prime example of what he wants from his defending champions.
He said: "We have tried to raise the technical ability in the squad "I said the slogan before the tournament 'we're all No.10s' because these days the full-backs also operate as wingers.
"But it all comes down to your desire to win the ball back and be impeccable defensively.
"John Stones these days steps in and plays as a No.10, stepping forward, feeding balls through, finishing off moves when England are attacking.
