England was crap as usual, Italy while not being on the usual level was still 4th strongest and favorites behind Spain, Germany and France, because none other than these teams was ever gonna kick them out

Bookies had Italy as 6th favourite going in.

Heres some odds.
3/1 France; 7/2 Germany; 11/2 Spain; 9/1 England; 10/1 Belgium, 16/1 Portugal, Italy.

Historically Italy deserve to be in top 4 but Italy came out of pot 2 in the draw which highlighted their overall form going into the tournament.

In euro 2012, they came in as 4th favourites

Conte: 3-4-3 changed season
By Football Italia staff

Antonio Conte claims his switch to a 3-4-3 formation “changed” Chelsea’s fortunes en route to the Premier League title on Friday night.

Consecutive defeats to Arsenal and Liverpool in mid-September prompted Conte to adopted his tried-and-tested 3-4-3, resulting in him becoming the fourth Italian after Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri to be crowned an English champion.

“Thank you, thank you. this is a great achievement for the players,” he told Sky Sports after the 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion.

“I thank them for their commitment and work rate. They show me a great attitude to try to do something great this season.

“After this win we must be happy, we must be pleased. I thought that Hazard and Pedro were tired and we needed more energy.

“Michy paid me a lot with this change! It was great. It wasn’t easy for me to arrive in England and try different habits, a different language and inherit players after a bad season.

“The change to a 3-4-3? That decision changed our season. We had to change and find a new suit for our team.

“In my mind there was this option to play a 3-4-3 because I knew I had the players to do that.

“We were not lucky, we did a great job. It’s important to rest. It is a great season but now we can win the FA Cup.

“Every game I feel like I have played with my players! I show my passion and my will, my desire to stay with my players in every moment of the game. This is me, I am this.

"In the present, in the past, I stay with my players in positive and negative situations. We won this title together.”

Translation:

"I took this mid-table team and with my brilliant tactics I made them champions."
