The Juventus defender hopeful of a great Euro 2012; laments the lapses in concentration in the defeat against the USA at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday.
Italy defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giorgio-Chiellini-c14963, believes that his team’s defeat at the hands of USA was not so poor, and has high hopes for the upcoming Euro 2012.
Gli Azzurri slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of USA in an international friendly at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday, February 29. Clint Dempsey’s goal proved to be the difference between the two teams.
The Juventus defender believes that his team played well, but they need to be sharper in the attack. He insisted that they dominated the proceedings against the Yanks, but they were sloppy on most instances. Despite the poor result, the Italian is confident of his team’s chances of winning the Euro 2012, and insists that they will improve after the defeat to USA.
While talking to the reporters, Chiellini said:
“The match wasn’t so awful and we are annoyed to have lost, as incidents went against us, but we remain convinced we’ll have a great Euros. We created the opportunities and allowed USA pretty much nothing aside from the goal, so it is a shame.”
Chiellini defended http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Matri-c4733 for their performances on the evening, and is hopeful that the strike duo will perform much better in the future.
“Rossi, Cassano and Balotelli would be important for any national team, but those who played today were just a few cm away from getting several goals. A little tiredness from the campaign is understandable, but when stepping on to the field for Italy you really cannot think about who Milan or Juve will play in a few days.”

Cesare Prandelli’s side remained unbeaten throughout the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, and topped their group. Italy will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 in June this year.
