http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/dec29b.html World Cup: Lippi ready for Germany Thursday 29 December, 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Marcello Lippi assures that the Azzurri are ready for anything at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and fear no opponent. “I cannot wait to go through this incredible adventure,” said the Italy Coach. “I expect my team to make a good impression in the tournament and, personally, I know we'll experience some wonderful emotions.” The peninsula outfit has had a great 2005, qualifying top of Group Five and ending the year unbeaten with seven wins and six draws. Their recent form – and qualifying a round early – has earned comparisons with the Italy squad that won the 1982 World Cup u nder the tutelage of Enzo Bearzot. “There are similarities, such as Brazil being the favourites going into the competition,” notes Lippi. “Being the best doesn't necessarily guarantee you victory. There’s a lot of desire to make up for the negative experiences of the past few years.” Italy were knocked out by South Korea in the 2002 World Cup and failed to progress past the group phase in Euro 2004. They have been drawn in Group E with Ghana, the Czech Republic and the USA. “We shouldn't be too worried about the draw, as we are Italy and must consider ourselves stronger than most opposition.” The Coach is spoilt for choice when it comes to the strikers, as players such as Alessandro Del Piero and Antonio Cassano are by no means assured a spot in the squad. “Cassano could come along if he proves he is in form and plays regular first team football,” explained Lippi on Sky Sport Italia. “The same goes for Del Piero, as it does for any player. I think the worst thing a Coach could do would be to say someone definitely will or won't be in the squad six or seven months before the tournament.” －－－ 里皮寄望义大利重现82辉煌 称球队大门向卡萨诺敞开 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sports.sina.com.cn 2005年12月29日12:22 新浪体育 新浪体育讯 与捷克这样的球队同处一组，出组後面临着对话卫冕冠军的巴西的潜在可能，这 便是义大利队在明年世界盃上将面对的命运。但义大利主帅里皮对这一切似乎都 充满信心，北京时间12月29日，里皮在接受《天空体育》采访时候表示，蓝衣军 团目前已经为明年世界盃做好了全部准备，现在球队的状态让他们不惧怕任何对 手。 「这将是一次很棒的冒险经历，我都快等不及了。」里皮在展望德国世界盃时这 样说道，「我希望我的球队在比赛中能给人们留下深刻的印象，从我个人而言， 我知道我们会在世界盃上经历一些奇妙的时刻。」 2005年义大利队有着不俗的战绩，全年的13场比赛中７胜６平保持不败，获得了 欧洲区第五小组头名。而预选赛经历以及球队近期状态让人们很容易联想起24年 前，当年贝阿尔佐特执教的义大利队同样在预选赛中提前一轮出线，最终在1982 年西班牙世界盃中表现满热的义大利队最终夺冠。 「现在和当年的确有一些相似之处。」回忆1982义大利队辉煌时代，里皮这样说 道，「比如巴西队被看作最大夺冠热门，最好的球队并不一定会确保赢得胜利， 这在已往有过很多的例子。」有趣的是，1982年义大利正是在第二阶段小组赛中 出人意料击败了巴西，从而一路高歌最终夺冠，而本届大赛义大利所在小组将在 淘汰赛中首先与巴西的小组进行交叉，两支强队有可能在16进８的比赛中相遇。 德国世界盃将在2006年６月９日开幕，义大利与美国、加纳和捷克同分在Ｅ组。 经历了2002世界盃和2004欧洲杯的失败之後，此次抽签又身处死亡之组，对於义 大利队前景外界众说纷纭。但里皮显然对小组中遭遇的强队并不担心：「我们不 必对抽签结果过多的担忧，因为我们是义大利队，我们必须相信自己比大多数对 手的实力都更加强劲。」 在接受采访的同时，里皮还特别谈到了义大利明年世界盃大名单的人选，对於义 大利教练来说，前锋线人员的选择永远是让人头痛的，即便是象卡萨诺或者皮耶 罗这样的天才球员也未必能确保进入大名单。「如果卡萨诺能够长期获得出场机 会，并证明他自己处於一个良好的状态，那麽他应该能获得去德国的机会。皮耶 罗的情况也同样，对於所有球员都一样。我认为对於一名教练来说，最坏的选择 便是在大赛开始六七个月之前便指定哪些球员肯定入选，哪些球员肯定无法入选， 一切还都充满变数。」 (仙履) -- 　　在义大利，罗西比足球名将德尔皮耶罗（Alessandro Del Piero） 　　和托蒂（Francesco Totti）还要红！ 　　－－语出罗西经纪人（FHM 2004 DECEMBER） --
