Italy coach Marcello Lippi is unfazed as to who the team could face during the World Cup 2010 group stage.
The Italian delegation have arrived in Cape Town for the draw which takes place Friday afternoon local time. There is plenty of expectation and a degree of tension as a number of strong teams including France could be drawn with the Italians.
However, Lippi appears calm ahead of the group deciders.
"The important bit is being here, we will see how the draw goes tomorrow and then we will study our opponents," the coach told the press as he arrived in South Africa.
There is, however, a certain level of contrast in the Azzurri camp. Italian FA (FIGC) president Giancarlo Abete did appear concerned as to who Italy get drawn against. He is hoping to avoid Serbia.
"Both France and Holland are very strong teams, though I would not want to play against Serbia," added Abete.
