to be honest i dont think we need totti to win the world cup, i'm glad he is back but del piero played more then good enough when totti was injured. del piero gilla and toni made germany look stupid. I think del piero should play more in the middle because he likes playing that CF role and not way out to the left. I dont think lippi is using del piero to the best of his abilities right now, he is almost shoving him way out on the wing, del piero is a great dripper and can move the ball fast and it is very effective. Lippi needs del piero closer to the middle of the pitch and oddo or zaccardo and zambo or grosso can run down the wings to help them. and cammo and de rossi are more the capable to handle the load down the wings.
from the past 2 friendly match italy isnt struggling down the wings, grosso set up a goal down the wing. it is up the middle were they need to be faster and make better plays.
