Gli Azzurri boss looking to test Alessandro Matri and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 pairing; reveals the reasons for not including Antonio Di Natale, Pablo Osvaldo and Balotelli.
Italian national team manager, Cesare Prandelli, is looking to find a regular strike pair before the European competition in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 in June 2012.
Gli Azzurri’s first-choice strikers, Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano, are recovering from long-term injuries. Rossi has started light training after making progress from the knee operation, while the A.C Milan striker is also on his way to recovery. However, the duo remains doubtful for the competition.
Prandelli has selected Sebastian Giovinco, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Osvaldo-c28996 from the Nazionale squad. The manager revealed the player’s short-temperedness as the main reason for not being considered for selection.
The former Fiorentina boss has revealed that Giovinco and Matri will start the match, and he is hopeful that duo will answer his call.
“With 100 days to go until Euro 2012, we have to reconstruct the attack. I want to wait until the last minute for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302. Matri gives us depth, while Giovinco is good at finding his position between the lines and can score goals too.”
While talking on not including Antonio Di Natale in his squad, Prandelli insisted that it is not the right time for the Udinese striker to be called into the team, as he has only recently recovered from an injury.
“It did not seem right for me to call http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306 so soon after an injury. It’s not as if he needs to be tested out, as I already know where he can play.” Added the former Fiorentina boss
The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Nocerino-c6332.

The game will be played at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday, February 29.
