Countdown!!!!!!   Second day Training is over and now the press conference from our players on their preparation  for the 2010 World Cup Qualifying match Italy - Republic of Ireland on Wednesday April 1, 2009.

This is the schedule / calendar of the Italian National team today,  Monday, March 30, 2009

h. 10.30 Second Day Italian National Training at the Technical Center of Coverciano  (open to the press)
h. 13.30 Press Conference with players


I am so excited knowing that Italy will have a revitalized formation against Ireland. Most likely, young Sampdoria forward Giampaolo Pazzini will be in the starting lineup. Yet, guys, there is also another young footballer ready to show his worth!!!!  Who?  hello, hello...   Italy and Villareal forward Giuseppe Rossi.  Can you imagine the duo Pazzini-Rossi??? wow... that would be an explosive river of energy!   

Guys,  Rossi has been called up 3 times and is awaiting his moment "to score his first goal" with the Italian National team!!!! Wow, can you how much he wanted it??? wow!!!!!  I am already cheering for Rossi, come onnnnn!!!!!

COVERCIANO (Florence), March 30, 2009 -Here are the words of Giuseppe Rossi from Coverciano after the trainings.

READY TO PLAY- "I hope to play.  We will see tomorrow. I don't feel as an outsider for not having played in Podgorica.  I am calm and know that I must grow up."

wow, guys, that was a good response from Rossi.  I am so happy to see he is optimistic and willing to grow with experience too.

TACTICS - "If you mean that the tactical formation of 4-4-2 that suits me the most?  It could be.  In Villareal I play as a second forward. Though, at times our module becomes a 4-2-4.  I have to adjust to what the coach needs. "

Guys, the more I listen to Rossi, the more optimistic I am to see a turnover.  WOW!!!!  I can't  wait to see the Pazzini-Rossi duo!!!!   That will be a magic moment!!!

ON NATURALIZED PLAYERS- "There are many foreigners declaring themselves available to play for Italy?  Everybody would love to play for the World Champions.  Its good to know that Amauri, Taddei, Felipe are great champions too.  Why I don't play in Italy?  It has not been my fault if I am not playing in Italy.  Clubs take their decisions, and I take my decisions too.  The important thing is to show your worth in the big "scenarios,"  by playing, having space."

Here is the touchy issue, guys.  I really don't get why Italian clubs don't use more the local talents instead of going to other countries paying sometimes too much money for a player who might not be better than many Italians waiting for their chance.  This is why many decides to go abroad to have more space to play instead of warming up the benches or waiting for a contract.

YOUNGER PLAYERS - "Italian football is changing. It is giving more space to young footballers.  It is the right decision because there are talents.  In England and Spain is different. They have more patience. For example, in Barcelona  there are 3-4 players who are 20 years old playing in the starting lineup.  In the future, even in Italy we might see it too. Names?  For example some of my ex-teammates from the Under 21 like Giovinco and Acquafresca."



Here is Giuseppe Rossi celebrating the first  goal scored by Italy during the Olimpics against Korea on August, 10, 2008  at the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center Stadium

Ok, guys, now Rossi really got me.  Just by mentioning Giovinco and Acquafresca two of my favorite young players!!!!  You bet I strongly believe in the talent of these two footballers.  I am so glad that Robert Acquafresca is most of the time in the starting lineup in Cagliari.  Too bad that Giovinco does not have enough playing time with Juventus, but that is also changing guys.  So, we might see more young players in Italy getting experience.  I definitely agree with Rossi on this  point.

ON THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND - "It will be an intense match.  Ireland has Trapattoni, a great coach."

Hey, hey, hey... you bet it will be an intense match!  A test for Lippi and for your young footballers too if they get their chance.  It is their moment, maximize their chances now that some of the traditional "experienced" players are out for injury. 

Let's go get the 3 points boys!!!!!!

PO PO PO PO PO PO!!!!!
