“It was very good for our last match of the year."
Meanwhile, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 coach, Cesare Prandelli, is taking positives from the game but knows that his side needs to improve a lot if they want to perform better in the upcoming games.
"It was the right thing to do to try out some new players, and we will do so again and we shouldn't speculate too much after this result. We did some good things, even if some things will need to be improved upon.
The former Fiorentina manager added that El-Shaarawy and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 played brilliantly together and it will benefit Italy in the future.
