Vieri Eyes A Recall To The Azzuri Squad
After floundering at Internazionale, Milan, Monaco and Atalanta, the 34-year-old has found a new lease on life at Fiorentina, and as such is holding out hope for his first recall to the Azzurri since 2005.
“Am I expecting a phone call from boss Roberto Donadoni? No, I’m waiting to be selected for the squad,” said Vieri, who has scored five goals in all competitions so far for the Viola. Esteemed tactician Fabio Capello has spoken out in support of Vieri, who showed that he certainly isn’t lacking for confidence. “Capello is right when he says I’m ready,” said the veteran marksman when told about the former Juve boss’ backing. “It is now important for me to play and score regularly, that’s what I need to win my Azzurri place back.” ‘Bobo’ has proven himself a valuable weapon off the bench for Cesare Prandelli, and the Viola boss suggested that he would be an ideal backup for Donadoni’s undisputed first choice striker going into the tournament, Luca Toni. Said Prandelli: “If Vieri carries on working hard like he is at the moment, he will be back in the Italy squad within a few months.” source:goal.com |
