No choice. Win or fall by the wayside at the first road.
This is what is so surprising loss against Costa Rica, already waiting quietly
in the second round. Italy would tie for the better goal difference. Even those
who get the win cannot rule it reached the top spot in the group if the Ticos
evicted from losing against England. But the fact is that two world champions:
Italy (four World Cups, the last in 2006) and Uruguay (two, and fourth in the
last edition) will play another much-anticipated late this week are distilling.
Those which move as "fish in water" the Azzurri (in nine of the last
ten games tournaments have played in the last round of group stage).
Two former world
champions were defeated by Costa Rica; face off in a duel to the death in the
Arena das Dunas stadium in Natal. It
is all or nothing. They know that a win will continue alive in the World Cup
Brazil 2014 and reach the second round to take the second location of Group D.
It was learned that the captain Diego Lugano will not play in this important meeting with an injured left knee. The truth is that the Uruguayan national team will not have significant variations in the game plan.
Meanwhile, Coach Cesare Prandeli already prepared the "Operating Azzurri" where his main weapon in midfield is Andrea Pirlo, with ball control and tempo and striker Mario Balotelli. Unfortunately, Prandelli would not count on Daniele De Rossi, who is injured.
