Italy, oh Italy! The world’s eyes are fixated on their fallen president and wacky owner of AC Milan today… Botox Berlusconi! Well, everyone except the Azzurri of course, where it was ‘Business as Usual’ with medical checks at the team’s training camp in Florence yesterday. Andrea Pirlo and Compagni are preparing to face Poland (and their super cool goalkeeper – who is always up for a chat - Wojciech Szczesny) on Friday. You know it’s especially important to take precautions now, no one wants to end up like Gattuso!
Italy’s team doctors Enrico Castellacci, even had time to set up his own lemonade-type medical stand on the left… stupefacente! Team doctors are always fun to be around because they either have a) too much time on their hands or b) know intimate details about players they’ve medically examined.
And although Italy are missing out on their key players right now in attack, Buffon The Style Maestro still thinks they’ll be sailin’ through!
“We have the resources to replace Antonio and Giuseppe. We have players of the calibre of Pazzini, Balotelli, [Daniel] Osvaldo and [Alessandro] Matri that can make a difference. We are covered in attack.” – Buffon
Meanwhile, here’s Alberto Aquilani getting excited over his Angry Birds score on his phone. Ei bellimbusto, the orange grocery plastic bag you’re carrying does not go with the look – drop it NOW!
