Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says his side are ready ahead of their crunch Euro 2012 semi-final against Germany on Thursday.
Prandelli's side have exceeded expectations by reaching the last four at Euro 2012 following their dreadful 2010 World Cup.
After finishing second in Group C and then beating England on penalties in Sunday's quarter-final, Prandelli's unbeaten side now face the tough task of Germany, who have won each of their games to date.
"I have good sensations. We are ready. This is a match of strong emotions and big expectations," Prandelli told Italy's Rai TV in his traditional pre-game interview.
Consider future
The Italy boss also admitted he will consider his future whatever happens in their clash with Germany.
The former Fiorentina manager, who replaced Marcello Lippi as Azzurri boss after the World Cup, has a contract with the national side until 2014 but has long said that he misses the cut and thrust of club football.
"I have a contract that links me to the national team until 2014 and I have a very good relationship with everybody," he said.
"I have always said that I miss the training pitch, let's let the Euros finish and we will consider everything.
