Italy and Romania - Do or Die
Friday, 13 June 08, 04:16 PM
After the fiasco against the Netherlands, Italian coach Roberto Donadoni decided to change the starting line up for the match against Romania.
Del Piero will assume the captain armband and Chiellini will be on the pitch too. Italy will go for a almost Kamikaze formation with possibly 3 forwards (Camoranesi, DiNatale and Toni) and Del Pierro right behind them.
Crazy? Desperate? Well, understandable.
Romanian forward Ciprian Marica was certainly missed on the opening match against France.
The yellow heads needed a more offensive team and the lack of action from both sides made that match the most boring so far in the competition and the only match that ended up goalless.
But Victor Piturca decided not to use Marica on today's match against Italy because of the head injury suffered by the forward during a training session on June 10th.
Still according to Piturca the team intends to show a much more offensive football today than what they displayed against the French.
Better late than never. Romania has a slight advantage in the table compared to Italy. And in this group 1 point might really mean a lot.
