Rossi: Italy can Beat Spain

Giuseppe Rossi is confident that Italy have what is required to defeat Spain in this week’s international friendly.

The visitors’ will start the game as firm favourites, but Rossi, who plays his football for Villarreal, has faith in the Azzurri.

“We know that they are very strong,” he told Sky Sport 24. “They’ve already proved that they are the best in the world.

“However, we’ll play a great game because we want to show everybody how good we are as a team too.

“We can certainly beat Spain. We are a new team who need to improve, but we’ve already done some important things.”

Italy boss Cesare Prandelli indicated earlier today that Rossi will start in attack at Bari’s San Nicola on Wednesday.

Ok.

Of course Italy can beat Spain.

Portugal, USA, and Northern Ireland have all beaten Spain.

Does'nt mean you will though

Of course not... and I agree Mole.

What nonsense, I said 'Ok' as in they can do it, but I don't think they will.

Some people are so sensitive, damn.

Spain are outright favourites in this one..

It's football, anything can happen, anyone can win. Should be a good game nonetheless.

He didn't mean anything malicious by it.

Not sure how you read that as sarcasm....

It's not about being sensitive, it's about you accusing me of posting none sense, and yet you just post one word. 'Ok'...

Has nothing to do with sarcasm, as stated before, he just said Ok. I post like that too sometimes, but then i get accused of not posting properly. In the past he has done it many times against me, I just posted and said that to show he does it too. Apologies.

Anyways back on topic.

I predict a tie.

Where did I say you post nonsense?

Show me the post.

No european side can lord it over Azzuri, i predict a win for Italia.

It's been a long time, back when we use to debate on the Milan section and even on the old forums.

Slovakia was under Lippi... so that is irrelavent.
Ireland we were against Trap, and we tried out our second team... so.. .

I think Im the only one here who thinks spain will have a hard time tomorrow....they have a really organized defense ,if they play counter i predict Italy will win.

They are, Apparently we are playing with four midfielders. A 4-4-2, but I still see a 4-3-1-2 happening. If anything a 4-4-2 means counter.

Cassano - Rossi

Exepcted as the pair as well.

And so? It was our second team... We were against Trap... Tatically, Trap closed down all the angles of the pitch, he knew how to stop us in fact made his players close down Pirlo many times. We lost Trap, which is not a surprise andn nothing to worry about, nor is that making them the better squad. Our team is still developing rather that they are already ready. I don't see your point here... We lost fine, it does not make them the better squad by any means. If we in fact played our first squad, I would beg to differ.

I'm not looking forward to this match. Two of world football's has beens slugging it out. Much more quality will be on show in the Scotland game.

Agreed... but what's your point?
