Azzurrini ready for Lippi
Sunday 28 June, 2009
Italy Under-21 boss Pierluigi Casiraghi believes several of his players are ready for La Nazionale.
The former Chelsea man has been in charge of the Under-21 side for two years and is yet to digest their unlucky semi-final exit to Germany.
“We played good football but lost the most important game,” claimed Casiraghi.
“Several players from this squad are ready to go to Marcello Lippi and the full national side in September. And if they don’t called straight away surely they will in a couple of years.
“Players such as Marco Motta, Mario Balotelli, Claudio Marchisio and Domenico Criscito are good enough to make it – but we all already know their names,” concluded Casiraghi.
Lippi will no doubt listen to his colleague and the Azzurri boss is already considering several Azzurrini for the 2010 World Cup.

So we let Criscito slip away. And why the hell did he not mention Giovinco as one that is ready for the senior squad? He says a hot head arrogant asshole like Balotelli is ready, but not the player that most contributed to the tournament? Fuck that
