Cassano wishes Lippi well
Tuesday 15 June, 2010
Antonio Cassano doesn't know why Marcello Lippi refused to pick him for Italy, but showed real class by wishing him well at the World Cup.
A considerable number of people wanted to see Cassano included in Lippi's plans, sparking protests at Italy's qualifying matches.
Interviewed on Sky Italia, Cassano was asked to explain why Lippi doesn't seem to trust him.
“I sincerely don't know. I haven't even seen him,” Cassano said.
“In the beginning, I heard from him, for example, when he said that I would be tired of playing for the national team.
“I repeat, I don't know what it is that's not right. Perhaps he can't bear my personality.
“I am still Italian though and I always hope that Italy wins. For this reason, I say: 'Seeing that Lippi is leaving, let's hope that he goes on July 11 with the World Cup.”
Cassano then gave his opinion of Italy's 1-1 draw with Paraguay last night.
“To tell the truth, I didn't watch the game. When they told me that we lacked fantasia, I thought that Totti and Del Piero were missing. I didn't think about me.”
Finally, Fantantonio looked ahead to Lippi's successor Cesare Prandelli.
“He is a great Coach and a clever person even if he has had problems. But it all depends on me. I think that if I am given a chance in the national team, I can play with everyone.”
