Casiraghi eyes Olympic dream team
Tuesday 8 January, 2008

Azzurrini boss Pierluigi Casiraghi has surprisingly revealed that he wants some veteran stars to join his Under-23 squad for the Olympics.

Casiraghi will be called upon to name 18 players to travel to Beijing and only 15 of these must have been born after January 1, 1985.

This requirement allows the Monza-born Coach to call three overage players and he has set his sights high.

“It depends on Roberto Donadoni’s selections for Euro 2008 and obviously the priority goes to the younger players such as Alberto Aquilani and Giorgio Chiellini.

“But that doesn’t mean that I’m excluding some heroes like Pippo Inzaghi and Alessandro Del Piero. I’d also like Gigi Buffon and Luca Toni.”

The tournament will take place in Beijing between August 6 and 24 and many of Casiraghi’s decisions could be dictated by the decisions of players and clubs.

Italy took the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens after a 1-0 win over Iraq

If Alex doesn't make it to Euro, he should definately go to the Olympics and show this kids some master-class.

Plus, he would promote Juventus in China, big time :eyebrows:

Donadoni better take Alex with him. I don't see any other player deserve to be there more than Ale, apart from Toni and Di Natale who was showed alot recently.
