U21 Italy vs. 21 Holland- Tonight!

By: roberto | March 31st, 2009

Tonight Casiraghi’s complete Under 21 squad (the one which will be taking part in the European Cup in Sweden next June) will play in Holland . De Ceglie, who is nearing recovery from the injury, will be absent but Pierluigi Casiraghi can count on 3 other bianconeri.

If Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco are a point of reference for the team, Lorenzo Ariaudo is in the shoes of the newcomer. After the great performance and the goal scored against Austria last Wednesday, the defender deserved the call-up. The friendly is scheduled for 20:45hrs (live on Rai Tre).

Big ups to those three young bianconeri going out there in Holland tonight. I’ll be watching this game for sure. Wait a minute, shouldn’t it be four counting Criscito? Anyways the rest of the team reads as follows:

Starting: Consigli, Santacroce, Marzoratti, Criscito, Santon, Dessena, Cigarini, Marchisio, Balotelli, Giovinco, Acquafresca.
Bench: Sirigu, Ariaudo, De Silvestri, Ranocchis, Candreva, Morosini, Poli, Di Gennaro.

If Mario would have stayed in the Match, I'm sure Italy would have won it late.

Roberto, Gazzetta is reporting Italy's goal was given to Giovinco.

Yay Super Seba. :)

I don't see Criscito going to Napoli, but I don't see him returning to Juve either. If Genoa makes it to the CL, he'll certainly stay. Probably same with the Europa League too, which would almost guarentee that he will stay.
alex

i could have sworn that was criscitos second yellow?
roberto

Poli in - Balotelli out
alex

he reminds me of a young drogba. strong but thats his entire game. the negatives outweigh the positives. looks like mourinho has him cheating as well plus he seems quite greedy. cassano is mental but also cheeky and funny with it, balotelli is a complete twat
roberto

when he acts like a punk he loses it for me. but he's a force for his age that we can't ignore. like you said alex besides that, not much else.
alex

i honestly dont see what the fuss is with balotelli. dont rate him that highly at all. hes big and powerful but not much else
roberto

..... and brutal foul by Balotelli

I didn't call that one. No not at all, yellow card.
roberto

Maybe alex, Casiraghi subbed on Candreva instantly. Could be serious. The game's getting heated now this should be a good second half. Screw the England France game. Balotelli is losing his temper and acting like a hardass and Candreva almost got a card for kneeing a man in the head when he was down. Good stuff!
alex

reckon it could be serious for cigarini?
alex

fucking hell, watching the england under 21 game as well 2-0 to france, the difference in quality is terrible. we are fucked there are no amazing players coming through at all in england
roberto

Goal Dessena!!!!! 1-1 now.

alex, cigarini took a straight leg in the shin. Looked bad.
alex

what happened to cigarini?
roberto

What a shot Giovinco! Almost tied it.
roberto

Fuck Holland 1 - Italy o

De Jong with a great header inside the box.
roberto

Holland has the ugliest kit.

eh alex, criscito is yours. he won't want to come back here.
alex

criscito captain as well? he has to come to napoli, give him the number 6 shirt and he can be our very own baresi!
alex

he only had one beer apparently. thats a quality squad i have to say. and the reason they dont mention criscito is because hes on his way to naples this summer!
roberto

Let's hope santacroce's sober for this one hahahah

Starting: Consigli, Santacroce, Marzoratti, Criscito, Santon; Dessena, Cigarini, Marchisio; Balotelli, Giovinco, Acquafresca.

That is a solid as hell lineup.
