The Juventus midfielder believes that the Azzurri have beaten the World Champions once and can do it again; insisted that the Nazionale should forget about the 2010 World Cup debacle.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Marchisio-c9312 has voiced his optimism ahead of Italy’s match against the formidable Spain, and insisted that the nightmares from their dismal World Cup 2010 campaign should not be allowed to haunt them in the upcoming Euros.
The Azzurri won the 2006 World Championship, but were eliminated in the first round of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 2010 after failing to win a single match.
Italy are set to lock horns with the World and European Champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, in their first match of Euro 2012.
Marchisio stated that the Nazionale is not afraid of anyone as they represent a great country. The Juventus midfielder admitted that Spain play one of the most beautiful games in the world, but stated that it was the Azzurri who
gave La Roja a run for their money last year.
The Bianconeri playmaker stated that if the Nazionale can stop the European Champions once, they can do it again in their upcoming Euro clash.
While talking to the Corriere dello Sport, the 26-year-old said:
“We are not afraid of anyone. We are Italy, a great country. We will face the champions of Europe who play the most beautiful football in the world. Last summer we stopped them playing that great game and we can play like that
again.”
Marchisio stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 will have to break away from their haunting memories of the past, and insisted that they should concentrate on their goals and work towards achieving them.
The Juventus-man stated that it would be better for the Azzurri to not to go to the Euros at all, than to travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 with fear in their hearts.
“We should not worry about being eliminated at the group stages. We must work quietly, without fear, or else we shouldn’t take part. We should not fear what happened in the 2010 World Cup.”
The Azzurri’s troubles have been compounded by the match-fixing probe that has once again rocked the world of Italian football, bringing back memories of the famous Calciopoli scandal.
