Italy boss Prandelli will fight on By Football Italia staff Italy boss Cesare Prandelli intends to remain on the Azzurri bench to mastermind their World Cup 2014 bid – after last night’s 4-0 loss to Spain in the Euro 2012 Final. La Nazionale crumbled in Kiev as the reigning European and world champions collected a comfortable victory. There had been fears on the eve of the finale that the game could have been Prandelli’s last in charge, but he’s intimated that he will see out his contract which expires in the summer of 2014. “I did have certain thoughts at times, but the project won’t stop and we’ll move ahead,” he stated. “We have the strength and the objective is to continue. “My relationship with the Federation has always been good and I’ll talk with the President. This is a fascinating and difficult project, but it would be impossible to leave like this.” Spain quickly took control of the tie against an Italy side who looked sluggish after energetic wins over England and Germany in the previous week. “You could see from the start that Spain were fresher physically,” Prandelli lamented. “We didn’t have the time to recover this week. We needed to contain them, but we needed to be at 100 per cent fitness wise. “The only regret is that we didn’t have a few extra days to prepare, but then Spain are a great side and there was no game when we went down to 10-men.” Some have suggested that Italy were punished for fancying their chances against Vicente Del Bosque’s team. But Prandelli has defended his troops from that accusation. “It was impossible that we could think we were stronger than we were. The truth is that we had no energy. We didn’t underestimate them. “The result was a severe punishment. We didn’t make any tactical mistakes in the first half. We struggled physically and to play a certain brand of football you have to be fit.” Although the tournament ended negatively, the former Fiorentina boss has praised all of his Azzurri for their efforts. “It has been an extraordinary championship,” he continued. “Now we have to grow over the next two years. “This side deserves an eight out of 10. We played some great games. These players have showed that they have a great group spirit, that they want to play football without making calculations. “We went through some hard times by staying united. We also showed that we can lose with dignity. “I’ve complimented the players. We need to grow and arrive at competitions like this with the right amount of time to recover from the strains of the championship.” Italy progressed to the Final thanks to a Mario Balotelli brace against Germany in the semi-final, but there were only tears at the end for the young striker. “I told Mario that he has to accept defeats, that these experiences are to be used in the future. This is sport.” http://www.football-italia.net/20670/italy-boss-prandelli-will-fight ********************************* 普蘭德利：球員已經盡力 翻過這一頁著眼未來 普蘭德利承認球隊在決賽中的表現不是最好，但他相信球員們已經盡力，他現 在已經開始著眼於未來，畢竟失敗已是過去式，未來的路還很長…… 2012-7-2 上午10:41:00 By Frank 　　　一路從小組賽走到決賽，這支意大利隊原本並不被人看好，但是普蘭德利讓這 支球隊贏得了尊重。在決賽中他們沒有受到幸運女神的眷顧，球隊在基輔遭遇一場大 敗，賽後教練普蘭德利感到苦澀失望。 在淘汰賽中斬英格蘭過德國，意大利人的努力讓他們走到了決賽，然而在比賽 僅僅過了14分鐘，席爾瓦就洞穿了布馮把守的大門，上半場結束前，西班牙人將比分 變成了2-0.，意大利人的歐洲杯夢想受到重創。 而失球並不是最糟糕的事，下半場替補上場的蒂亞戈-莫塔在奔跑中拉傷肌肉， 難以堅持的他最終下場，少一人的意大利用最後的意誌來作戰。 然而面對西班牙這樣的強敵，意大利再強大的意誌也攔不住犀利的進攻，替補 上場的托雷斯和馬塔又各取得一粒進球，意大利已經潰不成軍。普蘭德利在賽後表示 疲勞是導致球隊表現糟糕的一大因素。 “我們的狀態不太好，一些球員的健康狀況沒有達到最佳， 　　　　　而對陣西班牙你恰恰需要最好的心理狀態和身體狀態。 　　　　　我們很累，我們沒踢出自己的風格。” 與德勞內杯失之交臂，意大利主帥普蘭德利表示球員已經盡力，現在他們將目 光放在未來。 “我覺得球隊已經盡力了，在比賽結束時我向所有球員在 　　　　本屆大賽上的表現表示感謝，現在我們開始考慮未來。” (Goal.com) -- ★ ★ ★ ★ ◢█◣ ███ ███ █ █ ██◣ ██◣ █ FEDER A ZIONE █ █ ◢◤ ◢◤ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ITALIANA █▆█ ◢◤ ◢◤ █ █ ██◤ ██◤ █ GIUOCO CALCIO █ █ ███ ███ █▆█ █◥◣ █◥◣ █ Forza Azzurri！ 義 大 利 加油！ --
