They were champions in the 2006 World Cup when nobody expected it to France after a difficult final prediction, and gained what they lost on penalties to Brazil in 1994. But since Grosso scored the final penalty, the Italian moved away from the path of victory to fall gradually in the field of defeat. After Donadoni and the return of Lippi's turn came to Prandelli to refloat the ship azzurra with the mission of making a competitive group in football faces a complicated generational.
The winner of that inertia world led them to meet the Spanish team at Euro 2008, which could only happen in the shootout, but fell with a crash in the first phase of the 2009 Confederations Cup and World Cup. The next challenge will be in Euro 2012, where he is heading steadily in their qualifying group, and for that Prandelli has a mix of veterans and newcomers. The reality is that they have plenty of talent in Italian football, and the selection is a true reflection of what happens in a league that has lost much of its value.
But I do not think that the current lack of possibilities for Italy. Is a team that tries to play the ball flush of grass, in the image and likeness of that Fiorentina Prandelli tastefully directed, while admitting a long ball if required by the script. A competitive group which can cause problems to anyone, but lacks the quality that has usually been Italy. They have no fuoriclasse who stressed on the rest in recent decades, from Roberto Baggio to Totti through Mancini, Zola and Del Piero, the defense does not have names like Nesta, Cannavaro and Panucci, not to mention the Baresi or Maldini, nor have a front and Vialli, Signori, Vieri and Inzaghi.
Italy, line by line
The goal does not enjoy the boom of recent years, when there was much to choose from and good goalkeeping and looked like Peruzzi canopy or on the bench, but they still have Buffon, having recovered from his back injury, and that's a guarantee . Behind him are goalkeepers as Viviano and Sirigu, who are completing a good season in the Calcio.
The defense is led by Chiellini, who has been tested as both left-back for Juventus in the selection, but their site is in the center. He often accompanied his Juventus teammate Bonucci, and Ranocchia is like the best option for the future. Prandelli's side to travel like that accumulates as players in midfield, and headlines in the last game were Maggio on the right, who usually plays in midfield, and Balzaretti on the left. Cassani and young Santon and Criscito, more defensive, are the other alternatives.
The midfield is where most quality unites Italy at the moment, however, players like De Rossi and Montolivo will pay costs in the selection as they do for their clubs. Do not forget to Pirlo, now injured and is still the most stylish player of the Italian midfield. Moreover, there is controversy in Italy as De Rossi was not included in the last call due to the ethical code of Prandelli: if a player has been banned for his club for unsportsmanlike conduct is not in the selection. The player and enforce sanctions where it should, but the DT it claims, not unreasonably, that also represent their clubs in Italy, and perhaps will serve the Roman to think better before doing things like this , and Howard Webb sanctioned by Srna protest.
The Italian Brazilian Thiago Motta is the latest big news, a player who does not enjoy good press in Spain but is considered a good midfielder in Italy, where he was instrumental in the triplet Inter. Difficult it will be to wrest the job to De Rossi and Pirlo, but against Slovenia in their second game and overseas, and was the one who scored the winning goal. Aquilani, who has regained the good feelings at Juventus after a year of fruitless in Liverpool, and his companion Marchisio are other alternatives as well as Mauri, more offensive.
The lead, despite not having the names mentioned by previous generations, has a fine twigsalternatives. Prandelli front holder is usually made by the former duo Sampdoria and Cassano Pazzini, now Inter Milan respectively. Cassano is undoubtedly the most talented current Italy, but is irregular and it seems that never in the way ideal. However it has made interesting details in the last meetings of the selection.
Pazzini, which incidentally was an understudy in the Fiore Prandelli and only scored one international goal, usually the owner. Other options are Matri, which is growing in Turin, Rossi, star of a great season at Villarreal, Giovinco, who begins to enter the call, or Gilardino Borriello, not to mention the controversial addition Balotelli Quagliarella, who is injured. Surprising is the absence of veteran Di Natale , scorer of calcium and a great form.
Italy is the first of the Group C after five games with thirteen points, six more than Slovenia and Serbia, and has a place in the Championship of Poland and Ukraine the right track. Where they will show the true measure of its ability.
