Hey theres nothing wrong with being subbed off at half time, even if he was playing well.
Its his debut, remember!! Thats whats supposed to happen!! When a player plays his first REAL international, you cant expect him to go through the whole thing. I you think about it, It makes perfect sense.
I mean this is the best you can get- the toughest 'league' is the "International league"- and you can expect him to be bowled over by the experience.
The physical fitness and stamina required at the top level to be able to play for a full 90 mins at International level, with the cream of the serie A crop by his side is something he has never experienced before.
And even in a friendly I doubt Trap could risk having him play a full 90 at this level on his debut
Im sure its fine.

Oh really, why is he now back to the under21s, and what happened to Asta last season, I am not saying he should play the whole 90 minutes but he should have played at least 75 minutes and then give the crowd a chance to clap off the player and instil him with more confidence, now what will Brighi be thinking now he has been demoted back to the under21s, its not as if Italy is filled with midfield talents
If Maldini is so bad, tell me anyone who can compare to him with regards to class, intelligence, experience and all the qualities required of an Azzurri first team player.
I don't think there's anyone who can compare that we can bring in to the first team.
Sadly he's not a realistic candidate for Euro 2004, so Italy will be forced to turn to less talented defenders such as Materazzi, who shamed himself in the WC, and Iuliano, who atleast gave a solid performance.
I can agree that he's old, but a groan next to his name is disrespectful to someone who's put so much into the national team and gotten so little for it.

yeah, I know, but the only problem is that there doesn't seem to be anyone around to fill his shoes. apart from those guys in my post what do we have? It seems to me that Parmas pair of young defenders have stagnated in their development. Other than that I don't see anyone challenging for a spot in the upcoming European Championships, and as for the future, who knows?
