The AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 striker has gone on to state that the decision of Cesare Prandelli to snub him for the European Championships was totally understandable, given his form.
Given his admission, he is excited to be back amongst the fold and has stated that he would do his best to make his mark in the Italian set up. Cesare Prandelli kept the striker in the provisional squad to play at the European Championships, but Prandelli
opted not to take him to the championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983.
Despite the fact that he was snubbed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Osvaldo-c28821 holds the Azzurri national team head coach in high regards and said that the coach had always been honest with him regarding the situation. Besides stating and acknowledging the fact that he was not playing his
best football during the end of last year, he also went on to comment:
“But the Coach has always shown that he respects my ability and it is only normal that I have to do well for Roma to hope in the national side.”
The national team coach had given the reasoning that the player looked agitated at the back end of 2011-12 season, which was a major reason for the exclusion of the striker from the national team. Coach Prandelli had gone on to state that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Osvaldo-c28996 need to be more considerate and not be rash as it would put the whole team under pressure if they were to get sent off.
Reflecting on what was said at the time of selection for the European competition, the former Lecce striker went on to state that his form was the prime factor which led to him being dropped from the squad.
Osvaldo also remarked that there was no need of justifying his behaviour to everyone and remarked:
“I think it was more to do with my form, but I can sometimes react to things which are understandable. I don’t want to justify myself and I know I have to improve on that.”
Osvaldo has been called up for the World Cup qualifiers being played during the international break and he is ecstatic on being able to represent the Azzurri colours.
