In the November issue of "Calcio Italia", there is an article by Antonio Labatte pleading with Trap to keep Pippo out of the lineup for Euro 2004.
Labatte states that Pippo doesnt fit into our 4-2-3-1 system, and feels that Pippo's goals against Wales should not justify switching back to the 4-4-2.
Vieri fits the lone striker role well, and "superpoacher" would not do too well all alone up front. He needs a strike partner who he can steal goals from, just ask Sheva !!!
Pippo is a good closer, if the ball falls in front of him, he can shoot it into the net. For him to make a few moves arond a few defender's would be asking too much !!
I dont dislike Pippo- he is what he is. But, no player is bigger than the team, and for the Azzurri to WIN, Pippo is not the best choice IMO
