Cesare Prandelli is looking towards a brighter future for Italy, insisting his side are no longer clouded by the negativity which has blighted the nation since their woeful World Cup performances last year.<\/p>\n

Sitting top of their Euro 2012 qualifying group following a 1-0 win over Slovenia on Friday, and back from the Ukraine with a comfortable 2-0 friendly win last night, the outlook is good for the Azzurri.<\/p>\n

“The climate is more serene and the pessimism after the World Cup has gone,” Prandelli told Ansa.<\/p>\n

“The criticisms ensured we have done something more, and I am satisfied with the group and team ideas, they have given us a stamp on our game. People said we were dead, but we are alive.<\/p>\n

“We can be an important team even without world class players, though we do have some in the squad. Gianluigi Buffon is one such player.”<\/p>\n

Antonio Cassano has also been keeping the coach’s attention, but more is expected from him as he finds his feet following long-term exclusion under the previous regime of Marcello Lippi.<\/p>\n

“He knows how to carry responsibility on his shoulders, but he would be even more incisive if he was supported by brilliant form,” he added.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Cassano has struggled to gain a regular starting place for Milan since his move from Sampdoria in December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
