Donadoni set to gamble Wednesday 11 October, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Italy boss Roberto Donadoni may field a 4-2-3-1 formation in tonight’s must-win European Championship qualifier in Georgia.

Despite beating the Ukraine 2-0 on Saturday, the Coach is set to shelve his 4-3-3 system and start with Alex Del Piero, Marco Materazzi and Vincenzo Iaquinta on the bench.

The Azzurri are set to begin with Luca Toni as a lone striker, with the Viola star being supported by a trident of Antonio Di Natale, Simone Perrotta and Mauro Camoranesi.

Milan stopper Alessandro Nesta will return to the defence alongside Fabio Cannavaro in place of Materazzi.

Andrea Pirlo is likely to start in central midfield, alongside Daniele De Rossi, despite not being 100 per cent fit.

“I still have a few doubts about the formation, but we must win this match if we want to qualify,” warned Donadoni. “This time it will be a harder tie than the one against Ukraine.”

But the Azzurri will also be supporting the Ukraine tonight as they are playing against table toppers Scotland.

Italy (probable): Buffon; Oddo, Nesta, Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Pirlo, De Rossi; Camoranesi, Di Natale, Perrotta; Toni

I know I know

16

PS and right after he scored, Baggio baptised him with water lol That was really cool

i read that ale gave the number 10 shirt to totti after euro 2000 saying he deserved it more

Why would they give Ale number 10? He should always play with 7 for the Azzurri.

sometimes when totti isn't in the squad, they give ale the number 10, for example the game against germany (friendly) when italy won 4-1, but as you said he's the number 7 so it seems odd

“I don’t care if the supporters whistle at me because this often means that they fear you or your club,” continued Pinturrichio.

Grande Ale, Grande.

It's making Del Piero look like the inferior player. I think that's why he hinted he prefers to play with 7 in the interview. Del Piero's not Totti's replacement. Totti's contribution to the national team has always been overrated anyway. He was grand in Euro 2000, but disappointing in all other tournaments. Yes, he was unlucky in 2006, but that Italy won the WC showed they could do without a fully fit Totti.

Rai uno, nooooo not again

Honestly, and I'm not just being biased, but how was Totti's contribution to Italy winning the WC greater than Ale's? I was shocked when he was voted in the WC 11. He was quite ordinary if nothing else.

Official?

I think this is the official lineup
The starting line up is

------------------Toni

--Di Natale------Perotta-------Camoranesi

-------------Pirlo-----De Rossi

Zambrotta---Cannavaro--Nesta---------Oddo

----------------Buffon

No DP
