Intro:

Mario Balotelli met the media on Saturday for the first time at Euro 2012 and revealed how much "fun" it is going to be facing three of his Manchester City teammates when Italy meet England in the quarterfinals.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Italian): Cesare Prandelli, Italy coach:

"Our opponents are a lot of good players and they are very well organised. It will be a meeting with a very strong contender. And we have to play without fear and psychological pressure."

SOUNDBITE (English): Mario Balotelli, forward, Italy:

"I hope it is going to be a good match. I think it is going to be fun, playing against my teammates. They know me, and I know them. And I just hope that it is going to be nice and fun. But I don't expect nothing. I just hope we are going to win, because I want to win, even if they are my teammates. I hope they are going to lose. That's it."
