Panucci injury for Italy and Matrix speaks
Friday, 06 June 08, 02:24 PM
More sad news for Italy as Christian Panucci was injured today in training. The news is that the Italian defender has hurt his right knee in an exercise this afternoon.
This is yet another piece of bad news for Donadoni due to the fact that Cannavaro just recently left the team with a bad injury. The Italian defense is looking more vulnerable as time goes on. The likely setup that Donadoni will use now is: Zambrotta - Barzagli - Materazzi - Grosso with Chiellini as the other option.
Also, Marix (aka Materazzi) has spoken up to say that he is not a phenomenon of football (wow. what a shocker) and that the Italians don't have their own heads up their own asses so to speak because they're world champions. He said that Italy will play their hardest and their goal is to have a good time while at Euros. Can't blame him for the good PR pitch, I guess calling people's mother names is all good fun for Neo. He also added that he's already thinking of how he will "stop Ruud van Nisterloy," which will be interesting to see.
I don't see the slow Italian defense coping well with the Dutch speed Monday, but we'll see.
