Route to the tournament

Italy’s route to Euro 2008: Consistent campaign rewarded

With just one defeat and two draws in the qualifying campaign Italy qualified for Euro 2008 with their usual blend of controlled football and attacking flair and picking up points against their main rivals. Although they were beaten by the French in Paris, just two months after the win over Les Bleus in the World Cup finals, it was the Italians who had the last laugh by finishing some 3 points clear of their rivals at the end of the qualification.

Key Player

Italy's Key Man - Marco Materazzi

The controversial figure of Marco Materazzi could well become a key part of Italy’s Euro 2008 team. The only player to be called up into the squad of 23 from Serie A winning Inter Milan, the centre-back who was embroiled in the controversy of the Zidane sending off at the World Cup final just 2 years ago, has been a key part of the Italian defence since his call up to the national side.

Player to Watch

Italy's One to Watch - Antonio di Natale

Regarded in Italy as a late developer, Udinese’s Antonio di Natale could become a household name at the tournament if he can recapture his club form for Italy at Euro 2008. The 30 year old has scored 17 goals this season for Udinese and has been rewarded for his fine form with a call-up into the national side.

Italy - Looking for follow-up

Defending World Champions Italy come into the Euro 2008 tournament as some people’s favourites, blessed with a strong squad. Under the management of former AC Milan and Italy midfielder Roberto Donadoni they have continued where they left off in the summer of 2006.
