The head coach of the Italian national team has gone on to state that he has selected players on merit, and those that he felt would win the match for Italian team.
News has been widespread of the fact that majority of players that will be representing the Italian national team are from the champions of the Italian league, Juventus.
On top of the fact that so many players involved are from Juventus, the coach looks set to deploy the 3-5-2 formation as well. The head coach of the Azzurri outfit has gone on to comment that the selections for the World Cup qualifiers are made by him and
not the currently suspended head coach of Juventus, Antonio Conte.
The former Fiorentina tactician has gone on to state that the former Bari head coach has done a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the club; however, he remarked that he had been selecting these players before the arrival of Conte to Juventus and he firmly stands by the decisions
made. He remembers the criticism he received when he selected the highly rated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 and went on to remark:

“Giovinco claimed the jersey. The players usually work these things out among themselves. He's a second striker. And then there's no real difference between having the No 9, 10 or 11 on your shirt. His jersey is not important, it is important that he is
at the centre of the play.”
Giovinco has been in extremely impressive form upon the completion of his move from Parma, after Juve paid for the full ownership of his rights. The diminutive striker is a tricky customer to deal with and the player will be a perfect combination with a
taller, more physical striker, like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Osvaldo-c28996.
