REDEMPTION FOR PAZZINI

CLIMBING FOR INTER

First time as starter under Strama for the striker who is looking for the goal for their place.

Still has not scored a header.

Milan - The last time Pazzini did not score in a double figure was all the way back in 2007 when he was at Florence and had a vice-Toni role.  A Pazzini without a goal by header is also rather unusual.

Without a header  He is one of the best players in the air in the world.  Just look back at his debut with Inter against Palermo on January 30, 2011 where he scored two great headers and started the comeback.  This year, he has not yet scored a goal by his head.  Pazzo, with four games remaining, has three statistics to correct but the one today is the most important.  The Romagnoli are very familiar with Pazzini who just a year ago (April 30th) turned them inside out with a brace right before the final whistle.  Today against Cesena is a very important game for Pazzini because Stramaccioni has decided to rest Milito who is one yellow card away from a suspension.

11 players on the call-up list are 26 years old or younger.

Shake up the standings "Diego is fine.  He suffered a knock in Udine but has been training regularly," explained Stramaccioni yesterday.  "Pazzini? He is also very well.  He is fired up and one of us.  He has been out for the last two games for different reasons (Chivu's injury in Florence) but he has been training very well.  This one against Cesena will be his match."  Exactly.  Because yesterday the striker from Pescia was tested with the starters and now wants to shake up the standings in every sense.  Pazzini is currently at five goals in the league and three in the Champions League, all by his right foot.  The last of which was the most ironic: a penalty against Marseille on March 13.  A useless goal.  The last "true" goal was three months ago on January 22 against Lazio.

Strama effect After that, Pazzini went into crisis just like the whole team.  With the arrival of Stramaccioni, who has revitalized the dressing room, rebuilt with his own philosophy of football, Pazzini still has not received that much playing time and has never been in the starting lineup.  Because with Ranieri, two strikers can coexist but for Stramaccioni, he only "sees" one and he chooses the Argentinian.  Pazzini has been behaving in the right way, without controversy, working hard during the week and getting ready whenever he is called upon. 

Azzurri Pazzini is also playing for a spot in the upcoming Euro 2012.  In addition to the third place, his goals are also needed to convince Prandelli.  The coach appreciates the boy although he always prefers more mobile and versatile players for his Italian team.  At the moment, Pazzini is out of the list for the Euro.  Balotelli, Cassano, Giovinco and Osvaldo seem certain of getting on that list.  And the next two are Borini and either Matri and Di Natale.

Massimo Moratti Inter president and his son Angelomario arrived in their car shortly after noon.  They greet everyone before an important match.  A match that Stramaccioni has been using the 4-2-3-1 in training.  In front of Julio Cesar should be Maicon, Lucio, Ranocchia and Nagatomo.  Then Cambiasso and Poli (or Guarin).  Up front, from right to left, are Alvarez, Sneijder and Zarate all of which are behind Pazzini.  It remains, however, the idea for the 4-3-3 with Cambiasso, Poli and Guarin (or Obi).  Samuel has been training with his teammates and will be ready for the game on May 2nd against Parma at the Tardini.  A joke by Strama giving the goals by Siena and Udinese were scored at the 6th minute: "Against Cesena, we should just skip minute 6, we'll play from the 5th minute to the 7th."
