Prandelli demands consistency from Italian national team and wary of Serbian threat
Italian National team manager, Cesare Prandelli, has asked his team to maintain their high standards in the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Serbia and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972.
The Azzurri have already sealed qualification for the Euro 2012 and will top the group in any circumstances. However, the tactician has urged his players to remain cautious and must not let their standards to drop. The former A.S
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Serbia-c3002 will be a real test for his team and they must prove their mettle.
While talking to the reporters Prandelli said, “We don’t want to demonstrate that we are first in the group, we want to prepare for this game as if it the first match of the Finals themselves. There is great curiosity. Belgrade
will certainly be a hard place to go and play, but we have to put in a good display. We don’t need points, but we need performances.”
The manager announced his squad for the games, recently, and has called on some new faces. Atalanta playmaker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Barzagli-c5669, have been rewarded for their hardwork after some impressive performances
for their respective clubs.
The 54-year-old admitted that he will try out a new system in the training and might play a different formation against Serbia. The former Fiorentina boss desperately wants a permanent combination in the midfield department and
will try out some new players in the role.
“I still haven’t thought about the line-up. We’ll try a few things in training over the next few days. There is a possibility of a Mario Balotelli-Antonio Cassano partnership in attack.”
Prandelli has faced trouble sticking with a particular midfield combination and has failed to find a definite solution to the problem.
Parma star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 is expected to get the nod after a great start to the season. The pocket-sized striker has scored 3 goals in as many matches thus far and has impressed everyone with his performances. Prandelli confirmed
that the former Juventus man could be the most important player for his team in the next 12 months.
