Ciro Immobile is out to repay the faith showed in him by Italy coach Antonio Conte as the Azzurri take on Belgium in their Euro 2016 opener.
Conte's decision to include Immobile in his squad ahead of the likes of Serie A's top scoring Italian Leonardo Pavoletti, and in-form Toronto FC striker Sebastian Giovinco.
Immobile said: "I was nervous waiting to get the call for the Euros. When it came I really committed myself to the squad.
"The team is ready, we have a very united squad with a role for everyone.
"With Conte, everyone has to earn his starting place. There's competition in attack but it pushes you to do well."
"I arrived in Brazil tired, I'm much fresher now. There's still pressure because we are Italy. I want to prove my worth.
"If I wasn't here, I'd have no regrets. I did everything to come back from injury. I'd like to thank Torino for their support."
