Don't let that fool you, a Conte 3-5-2 is really an offensive version of a 5-3-2. Candreva and Darmian are going to be expected to play the entire pitch, will likely be providing most of the offensive pressure through crosses, but will also be tasked with a more defensive posture.
This is probably the worst crop of forwards in Italian footballing history, but defence wins tournaments, and having Buffon + the entire Juve back 3 means Italy is likely fielding the best defence in the tournament.
