Osvaldo is the new signing of the Italian

I prefer to play a match with the Argentina World Cup with Italy that. I would say no, I am Argentinian and my feeling is to play for my country

Osvaldo, AS Roma striker

He had twice refused the call azzurra waiting to see the number on your mobile albiceleste, but this did not come and Cesare Prandelli, Italian coach, did not relent in its efforts to see the civil wearing the shirt of Italy. Changing your mind is lawful in a football world in which the circumstances are always changing, but we know that one is a slave to your words. Osvaldo recently stated above you see the phrase collection. However, the Argentine striker will now have the opportunity to play international matches with teams but not the colors of your dreams.

Bleeding with low counts Prandelli has led the call of former Espanyol player. Gilardino is injured and did not make the list, and Balotelli, Pazzini and Rossi, who themselves were called, may not ultimately challenge the ruling party against Serbia, though Italy already qualified for the Euro next year, and the friendly against Ireland North. In this way, the Italian coach had only Cassano and Giovinco, top scorer in the Calcio, but no attacker area. Osvaldo, who Golea for Rome and meets the requirements for the profile.

It can be said safely that Argentina currently has the biggest offensive arsenal in terms of individuals, any selection of world football. Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Milito, Lavezzi Tevez or compose a symphony of luxury to which only lacks a common score albiceleste expected to arrive with Alejandro Sabella. However, surprisingly, Osvaldo has now chosen to wear the shirt of Italy, when given the alternative Sabella less common front as Rodrigo Palacio and Denis Germain, present in the final list. Or maybe because of it.

Very black Osvaldo had to see their future as Argentine international to decide for Italy when he declared his unconditional support for the country of his birth. However, his career in Italy is long-lived despite his 25 years as he played and Atalanta, Lecce, Fiorentina and Bologna, as well as his current club. With an Italian passport since 2007 thanks to the nationality of their grandparents, Osvaldo had already been under-21 international with Italy. Now, if he plays his steps against Serbia by the way blue, if it does so only to Ireland, could return to the path albiceleste by the friendliness of the meeting next Tuesday.

Although not the star in the midfield as before were Baggio, Zola, Del Piero or Totti or a first order as striker Beppe Signori and Vieri, Italy has a good roster of forwards. Pazzini has grown since his move to Inter, Giovinco finally seems to be taking the step that was missing, Rossi has already demonstrated its effectiveness and Cassano occasionally shows its magic. A Balotelli still ahead, and we must not forget the Juventus Quagliarella Matri or even injured the latter. Acquafresca seems a shame that stalled.

They are joined Osvaldo now, unlike those that grows every season. Hoping for better luck than Amauri, the last front of the Squadra Azzurra nationalized. The footballer of Rome will be the sixteenth Argentine Italians saw colors. The latter had been Mauro Camoranesi, world champion in 2006 and today Lanus player.
