Casiraghi hails 'unstoppable' duo
Italy Under-21 coach Pierluigi Casiraghi has described his side's attacking stars, Giuseppe Rossi and Sebastian Giovinco as "unstoppable" following the 2-1 victory against France on Tuesday night.
Rossi and Giovinco were both in sparkling form during the match in La Spezia, Giovinco setting up Italy's opening goal with a fine solo run and pass to allow Daniele Dessena to score on 37 minutes before Rossi scored the second with a precise left-foot volley three minutes later. France managed to pull a goal back in the second half through Julien Quercia but Italy held on for an impressive victory.
"When they are in possession, they are unstoppable," said Casiraghi of the two starlets who both made club switches over the summer. The 21-year-old Giovinco, now on loan from Juventus at Empoli FC, was pleased with the way the evening went: "The season has not yet started in Italy so we were not at our very best, but still we managed to play very well, especially in the first 45 minutes when we created several chances."
American born 20-year-old Rossi, meanwhile, secured a move to Spanish UEFA Cup hopefuls Villarreal CF in July and was delighted with his efforts against the French. "I was pleased with my goal because the ball was high but I managed to get a good contact anyway and keep the shot low," he said. A member of the Azzurrini squad which failed to progress from the group stage in the UEFA European Under-21 Championships in the Netherlands last summer, Rossi sees a bright future for the Italy. "I think this U21 side have great potential, there are plenty of players with great talent," he added. Italy began their qualifying campaign for the 2009 finals with a 4-0 win against Albania in June and next face the Faroe Islands and Albania again in September.
