Panucci has barely been on speaking terms with Lippi since he took over the running of the national side and has been constantly overlooked by the 57-year-old, despite some excellent performancesfor Roma this season. It is thought that the 32-year-old's exclusion is a result of a personality clash that developed during their association at Inter rather than any concerns about age or ability. Indeed Lippi has persisted with Daniele Bonera and Cristian Zaccardo at right full-back despite, particularly in the case of the Parma player, their indifferent displays for the Azzurri and bristled at suggestions by journalists to make a change. The Italy boss claims that his decision to omit the Giallorossi wide man has been purely tactical and has always refuted any notion of a dislike for him. "Panucci is a fine player that causes opponents great difficulty," he said recently. "But my selections are purely tactical." The former Chelsea man, however, suspects otherwise and has said that if Lippi didn't have an agenda he would have already called him up to the side. "Anyone can see how I've been playing," he said. "He hasn't got a leg to stand on." But it seems that hostilities are about to come to an end with Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti, who is a good friend of Lippi, smoothing the way for appeasement by suggesting a clear-the-air meeting between the two. It seems that Lippi has recognised that the right-back slot is the chink in Italy's armour, and has agreed to meet with his former charge in a private encounter. －－－ 　　由於 Lippi還是試不出一流水準的右後衛， 　　加上近來 Panucci的狀態很好，所以輿論開始造成壓力了。 　　此前兩人在 Inter時代有過嫌隙， 　　這是大眾推測 Lippi就任國家隊主帥後沒再徵召過 Panucci的主因， 　　不過 Lippi從來不承認，總說其選人是以戰略與狀態發揮考量， 　　兩人嘴砲打過一陣子，後來在 Zaccardo連出兩包那陣子吧？ 　　Panucci曾經一度低頭認錯講軟話，Lippi還是不領情。 　　這次的轉機在於現任 Roma隊教練 Spalletti出面緩頰， 　　他是 Lippi的好友，Panucci又在他麾下， 　　媒體料想由他來打圓場再好不過了，我樂觀其成。 -- 　 　 　ꄠ 　　　　　　　　廢物們！上吧！！ 　　 　ꄠ 　　　　　　以死來表達你們對我的忠誠吧！！ --
