EURO 2012: ITALY profile

Cesare Prandelli knew when he received the opportunity to replace Marcello Lippi as Italy coach after the 2010 World Cup, his face the mammoth task. Italian football when it slumped to its lowest result was thrown from the first round of the 2010 World Cup South Africa. After the defeat of the Ivory Coast in the first game, Prandelli started to rejuvenate. He includes a number of young players, while trying to maintain some wise pahlahwan World Cup 2006 Germany. Prandelli has a favorite player, but made ​​the form as a determining factor in selection. He decided to call back Cassano, who proved to be the key to the restoration of confidence in the players and fans.
Gianluigi Buffon has everything to become a captain; brave, strong, reliable, and its inspiration. When Italy needed, veteran goalkeeper was always ready to take on the task. In the 2006 World Cup he made to withstand the incredible rescue Zinedine Zidane's header, before the French star was sent off. Two years later, at Euro 2008, Buffon hold Adrian Mutu penalty. He passed Italy to the knockout stage. Buffon was the first choice replacement for Fabio Cannavaro, the captain of Italy after World Cup 2010. Had raised concerns that often plagued Buffon injury becomes a problem for Italy. However, concerns vanished after Buffon appeared nine times in Serie A with Juvetnus Italy.
Max Allegri made ​​some mistakes since taking over as coach of AC Milan, but let Andrea Pirlo leaving the San Siro with a status of free transfer at the end of the season starts to look like the most bizarre transfer in history. Pirlo rediscover his best performance at Juventus, and a key component renewal projects under the Bianconeri coach Antonio Conte. Pirlo midfield position in Italy was in danger, after the disastrous 2010 World Cup. However, after a successful Euro 2012 qualifying, the 34-year-old playmaker was one of the core team name on Prandelli. Prandelli said: "No players are able to create space and time as Pirlo.
Mario Balotelli perhaps the most controversial players at this time. As a result, people become easily forget the extraordinary talent. Suddenly, Balotelli is very important for Italy, following the catastrophic injuries suffered by Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano. Stocky, Balotelli is an explosive striker, clever, and full of finesse, as shown in the derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Masi he was 21, and is believed to be a major player in the future. Euro 2012 may be the beginning of the tournament that justifies a lot of opinions about it.
