Pirlo back. Should be most interesting to see. The old Rino-Pirlo-Seedorf tridente back in business.

QUOTE (han2503 @ Nov 19 2008, 07:46 PM)  Agreed, the only grudge I have against Lippi right now is the Cassano issue. I think he's by far the best technical player Italy have aside from Pirlo (now that Totti and Del Piero aren't part of the Nazionale anymore) and I think Lippi would be the sort of guy who can guide Cassano and keep him in line, far better then Donadoni could. So I don't understand why he's leaving him out. Have you seen Cassano's latest goal? it's a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . shame he's crazy... I think Aquilani could be considered a technical player too [if Pirlo is one - which is]. there are many good technical players in Italy but not an awful lot in the Azzurri. I don't like this! why a guy like Floro Flores [who impressed me a lot against Inter] isn't called up? he can't be worse than say Iaquinta, can he? I know they are different players. it's just that when tactics don't work [happens a lot with Italy recently], such technical players can make difference. Italy have a few too many technically ungifted attacking players right now. Toni, Iaquinta, Gila, Perrotta, etc. |

Isn't Floro Flores an Argie?

@Fillipo
I would really like to see that again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) But I guess that depends on Pirlo's fitness |

(Perrotta is a midfielder, zd. And didn't play a single minute yesterday).
Floro Flores is Italian, from Naples. He's the only Italian striker from Udinese not yet called up (probably because he's also the youngest). Give him time. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) he may not have played yesterday, but he's not a bench warmer either. |

QUOTE (Tennie @ Nov 19 2008, 11:21 AM) No, I dont' think Barzagli was called up for this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Agreed that Bonera has really progressed. As for the Cassano issue...I just don't know about him. He's insanely talented but the craziness factor is, I think, why Lippi is cautious about bringing him in. I don't think Cassano's been permanently ruled out, though. At least I hope not. Me too - I like Cassano QUOTE (han2503 @ Nov 19 2008, 11:37 AM) I think if he feels loved he'll flourish. And Lippi should understand this. Italy can't afford to let this kind of talent just go unnoticed especially since guys like Del Piero and Totti are not there anymore. I know Di Natele has really established himself but you can't really compare him to the brilliance of Cassano. Like I said, if Donadoni could do it, then I'm sure Lippi can do it, and do it even better for that matter. A talent like Cassano should not be wasted. Even if he carries that crazy air around him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Agree with you 100% on this han, imo Cassano is atm Italy's most talented player. QUOTE (Tennie @ Nov 20 2008, 08:40 AM) Here's Mediaset's projected lineup: Abbiati; Zambrotta, Bonera, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kakà, Ronaldinho; Pato Oh what a nice set of predicted changes. (Would be nicer if it actually came true) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE (Tennie @ Nov 20 2008, 09:23 AM) I suspect Il Capitano is being kept wrapped in bubble wrap until the series of Really Nasty Games at the end of the year. I think so too, have to say I don't mind it too much either, won't want to see him rushed into these early games and he is missed when we could actually use his brilliance and experience. Considering we're making it through fairly well at the back (Luckily or Not) for the moment too. |

They've got him slightly injured at Wikipedia. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then again, it's Wikipedia. QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Nov 20 2008, 07:06 PM) Agree with you 100% on this han, imo Cassano is atm Italy's most talented player. So very true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) He should play as much as he can. |

^^
It certainly is! I don't think Pato is going to start. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) he will be tired from internationals, and on the other hand Pippo will have had [ I know...! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) ] one week to prepare for this one. Carlo will certainly prefer a fresh and ready-to-go Pippo. |
