We want to push that back. It would be best for us to work with a large group of players for longer. Hopefully, we'll have time until shortly before the tournament.
No doubt, they (Americans) have made great strides forward in the last few years. They've qualified for the World Cup for the fifth straight time. We have a lot of respect for them, I know all their players and it won't be easy.
I have informed all the players not picked that they are still in with a chance for the World Cup. The Confederations Cup is an important milestone, but afterwards there will still be much to do for the World Cup.
Lippi has a more mature and expert team than ours. We're trying out new players and looking for an identity.
We fully believe in this team. All the players who were there last night will be called back for the match against the United States.
Every coach has his philosophy about which players will play. We are orienting ourselves to a philosophy of an aggressive attack. That is the way we plan to have an impact at the World Cup.
