Gentile calls in new boys
Thursday 12 February, 2004
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coach Claudio Gentile has called up some new faces for the Under-21
international friendly against Greece.
The tactician has decided to use next Tuesday’s test in Athens to
try out some new players with this summer’s European Championships
on the horizon.
Roma goalkeeper Carlo Zotti is included in the 21-man party after his
recent fine displays for the Giallorossi.
With Parma’s Daniele Bonera still out injured, Gentile has given Lecce
defender Cesare Bovo a chance to impress.
New names in midfield include Marco Donadel and Alessandro Rosina
of Parma, with Reggina’s highly rated Giandomenico Mesto also getting
the nod.
In attack, Marco Borriello’s lack of action with Milan again sees
him left out. Brescia’s Simone Del Nero has been included instead.
Goalkeepers: Amelia (Parma), Zotti (Roma)
Defenders: Barzagli (Chievo), Bovo (Lecce), Paolo Cannavaro (Parma),
Moretti (Bologna), Pasquale (Inter), Zaccardo (Bologna)
Midfielders: Brighi (Brescia), De Rossi (Roma), Donadel (Parma),
Donati (Sampdoria), Mesto (Reggina), Palombo (Sampdoria),
Pinzi (Udinese), Rosina (Parma)
Forwards: Caracciolo (Brescia), D'Agostino (Roma), Del Nero (Brescia),
Gilardino (Parma), Sculli (Chievo)
