Gli Azzurri boss has asked for composure to prevail after the consecutive friendly defeats; insists that the Italian senior team would do great at the Euro 2012.
Clint Dempsey’s second-half strike settled the score between USA and Italy at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday, February 29.
The defeat to USA means that the Blues have lost two games in a row following their recent demolition at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035. Their recent form has raised eyebrows on the credentials of Italy doing well
in the upcoming European competition. However, the head-coach insists that there is no need to be concerned by the situation.
Prandelli opined that his team did not deserve to win, but he is satisfied with the overall performance of his side. He believes that if Italy continue playing with the same vigour, they will enjoy a great
Euro 2012. The tactician remarked:
“It was undeserved, but with this spirit we will certainly have a great Euro 2012. I liked the way they tried to overcome every difficulty. Obviously playing once every three months is tricky.”
The Italian boss noted that his side was enterprising in their movement, but there are still areas where they need to improve.
Prandelli has been faced with a crisis in the strike department, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027 struggling to regain fitness ahead of the European competitions. The Nazionale head-coach has still
kept the door open for the duo to feature in the competition.
The former Fiorentina boss is trying several strike options to find a new pairing before the competition starts in June. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 were handed starts against Jurgen Klinsmann’s
side, but the former could not impress the tactician, and was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163 in the 59th minute. Discussing the qualities of his new strikers, the coach opined:
“Giovinco attacked in the one-on-one. Borini has grit, personality and is an interesting player.”
