Carrying on from the last part where bettor.com discussed the situation regarding Italy’s striking predicament, we will continue to look at the other strikers at the disposal of Prandelli.
One thing is evident with Prandelli; he has a certain conception in his mind about the possible replacements he wants in place of his currently recovering strike force. This mentality can be deduced from the importance given to the
partnership of Cassano-Rossi. Prandelli clearly wants a mobile partnership and does not prefer the lone striker up front.
Bettor.com will keep this mentality in mind when discussing the possible replacements.

The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. Luis Enrique has been complemented for his faith in the striker, who has responded
well to the chances given at the club.
The 20-year-old has a high chance of being selected for the Euro 2012, and with his “never say die” attitude, Borini is the kind of player that tacticians love to have in their squad.
The youngster has had a great season at Roma, scoring a total of nine goals in the 17 matches he has played in the Serie A, meaning that he has been scoring in every other match for the Giallorossi. He has also chipped in with one
assist. The Lupi forward has great commitment and has phenomenal stamina, something that would be of great help to the Italian cause in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983.
The striker was handed his national team debut after he came on for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Matri-c4733 against USA, and his impact was nearly instantaneous. During his almost 30-minute stay on the field, the starlet showed great composure, skill and
technique on his debut. The performance would have caught the eye in the Italian coaching camp, and they would be keeping a close eye on the prodigy to see how he performs in the last few matches of the season.

The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan attacker is unlikely to get a call for the European Championships until or unless he turns his season around. It has been a season to forget for the Internazionale player, as he has seen his dip in form correspond with
the plunge his club is in.
The relative inability of Pazzini to break the San Siro outfit from their slumber would go against the striker, but he would be desperately looking to turn around his fortunes for the season. Pazzini has played second fiddle to Diego
Milito during the course of the season. Unless the striker can replicate his form from Sampdoria, he could wave his chances of being in the flight to Ukraine and Poland.
Pazzini has had an abysmal goal-scoring record this time around, scoring on only five occasions in the 26 matches he has started, and was only able to provide the team with three assists. The former Sampdoria striker would be in the
lower pecking order of Prandelli’s list, with the only chances of being selected will be if some of the other options get injured in the last few weeks of the season.
