Zambro: Win or bust Wednesday 11 June, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gianluca Zambrotta admits that Italy’s game against Romania on Friday is do-or-die, while Alessandro Del Piero rallies the fans.
The world champions’ Euro 2008 campaign got off to a disastrous start with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Holland.
Roberto Donadoni and his squad have come in for widespread criticism from the nation’s Press and fans, but after France’s draw with Romania they can turn things around with a win on Friday.
“The game against Romania is the classic all or nothing game,” Zambrotta stressed.
“We have to give 100 per cent and fight for every ball. The only result that is any good to us is a win.”
Meanwhile, Serie A Capocannoniere Del Piero, who is being tipped for a bigger role against Romania, has sent a message to the Azzurri supporters.
“It was a terrible debut and we had a negative game in many respects,” his statement reads.
“But just as we are united in victory, we need to be united in defeat. With that spirit we can regain our energy and concentration for Friday’s game, which we absolutely must win.”
