SuperPippo eyes Euro spot Milan hitman and World Cup winner Pippo Inzaghi has put his name forward for Italy’s Euro 2008 squad. This evening Coach Roberto Donadoni revealed he has already picked the basic 23-man group to take to Austria and Switzerland next summer, but four or five places still need to be assigned. It is a message for new faces like Giampaolo Pazzini and Alessandro Rosina as well as elder statesmen who have recently been dropped, such as Alessandro Del Piero and Inzaghi. “I am always more than happy to accept the call of my country. If they need me, then I am there,” responded SuperPippo. “Donadoni will make his choices and even if he doesn’t include me, that will not be a problem.” Inzaghi was decisive for the Rossoneri last term, netting both goals in the 2-1 Champions League Final victory over Liverpool. Although he only made one appearance in the 2006 World Cup, he still scored the ‘safety’ goal in the 2-0 defeat of the Czech Republic. He recently became the all-time top scorer in UEFA club competition with 62 goals. His record for the Azzurri is 25 in 57 caps.
