BERN, Switzerland -- Italy coach Cesare Prandelli sees Wednesdays friendly against England as an ideal testing ground for young players ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. Prandelli has opted for youth for the match in Switzerland with the inclusion of teenagers Mattia De Sciglio, Stephan El Shaarawy and Mattia Perin, as well as Manolo Gabbiadini, 20, and Andrea Poli, 22. Mario Balotelli withdrew from the squad on Monday with conjunctivitis and was replaced by Udineses Diego Fabbrini, increasing the number of uncapped players in the Italy squad to nine. "The idea is to plan the next two years and immediately see if these lads are up to proving themselves ready," Prandelli said. "For that reason the match against England is very important. "What Im expecting is to continue the way we have been playing to get the results, but improving our finishing. Thats why Im going to give most attention to the attack." Italys attack will be composed of players born after 1990 following the withdrawal of Balotelli and the decision to leave out Antonio Cassano. "I want to look at players who have different characteristics so I have options in the future," Prandelli said. "But it doesnt rule out Antonio or others. "I hoped Mario would recover in time, but it wasnt to be. I want to give him an important role, on his side he has to assume this type of responsibility." Italy beat England on penalties in the quarterfinals at the European Championship en route to the final, which it lost 4-0 to Spain. Ignazio Abate, Federico Balzaretti and Daniele De Rossi are the only three players who started the quarterfinal to be included in Prandellis squad, although Alessandro Diamanti and Antonio Nocerino came on as substitutes. England coach Roy Hodgson has also named an inexperienced squad, with only Joleon Lescott, James Milner and Ashley Young included from the starting lineup of that quarterfinal as well as substitutes Andy Carroll and Theo Walcott. Lescott was a late addition following the withdrawals of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Daniel Sturridge and goalkeeper Joe Hart with injuries. Harts absence means Birmingham Citys Jack Butland is in line to become Englands youngest ever goalkeeper following impressive performances with Britain during the Olympic Games. Butlands only senior experience at club level is the 24 games he played on loan for Cheltenham in the fourth tier of English football last season. "Its what dreams are made of," Butland said. "Unfortunately its come, or hopefully will come, due to an injury which is unfortunate for Joe but if I get the chance it will be a dream come true. Its something I cant stop thinking about and Id love the chance to be able to perform on that stage on Wednesday night. "I think its very important, Im not going to try and put too much pressure on myself or expect anything because theres not a lot of goalkeepers who get the chance at such a young age so Im very privileged to be in this position. Im going to take everything in my stride. If it doesnt happen on Wednesday Im going to work harder to make it happen on a different occasion."  nfl jerseys china . "It is my feeling the club is at a stage that is critical to our on-field expectations and this move was necessary," Hervey told a news gathering hours after he informed Reed he was gone after three years as head coach. wholesale jerseys .

As the lowest-ranked of nine unseeded European qualifiers, France was expected to go in the Africa-dominated draw pot — meaning it could not be placed in the same group as a top-seeded European team.NEW YORK -- As Michelle Kwan chats with members of Figure Skating in Harlem, she sees a whole lot of herself in the young girls. And those girls hope to emulate Kwan. The nine-time U.S. champion and five-time world winner has been active with the inner-city club almost since its inception in 1997. She was honoured Monday night at the FSH gala for inspiring the hundreds of young girls who have been in the program. "Michelle is the perfect role model for our students with the way she conducts herself as a person, as an athlete, as an employee of the state department," FSH founder Sharon Cohen said. "Her career and life show where hard work and perseverance and talent can take you." Kwan, a two-time Olympic medallist , now serves as a senior adviser for public diplomacy and public affairs and as an envoy at the Department of State. Her husband, Clay Pell, is running for governor of Rhode Island. Kwans success in and out of sports didnt come easily, and she can recall times when she was in a similar situation to some of FSHs students. She received grants from U.S. Figure Skating and from the Womens Sports Foundation during her formative years as a skater -- at a time when Kwan and older sister Karen werent sure they could continue in the sport. "These underserved young girls get an opportunity to skate they otherwise might not have," Kwan said. "My personal background, both Karen and myself ... our parents were not well off. To be able to afford a used pair of skates and hand-me-downs in costumes and other stuff, I remember that vividly. "Imagine if one of those times you have to tell your kids, We cant afford it. I can relate to that. "And these young girls benefit sso much.dddddddddddd It really is about the skills you learn from sports. Physical activity, being with friends, teamwork, but also the discipline it takes, the hours of dedication, being able to concentrate on one thing at a time. You have to learn in life how to juggle things; being a student-athlete is the same as in life." Kwan began her day with a visit to Haverstraw Elementary, a school in suburban Rockland County, where she spoke to fifth graders who just happened to be studying her career. She stressed the importance of opportunity, education and empowerment -- all themes Figure Skating in Harlem embraces. Then Kwan headed to Wolman Rink in Central Park, where dozens of her peers were on hand to not only honour her, but to skate with the youngsters aged 6 to 18 who make up FSHs roster. Olympic medallists Scott Hamilton, Sasha Cohen, Tim Goebel, Paul Wylie, Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner, Jason Brown and Jeremy Abbott showed up to support Kwan and Figure Skating in Harlem. "Our students learn through the education programs and our skating program of the importance of working hard and asking for help when you need it," Cohen said. "They see the changes in themselves that this leads to, in their confidence and in their abilities to achieve their goals. "Someone like Michelle gives them an incentive to work hard because they see the rewards, the personal rewards, that Michelle embodies. She exudes sportsmanship and grace and an inner drive, as well as outer success. Michelle worked to be the best she can be in all aspects, and anybody can learn from that. She carries herself with such assurance and grace. Those are traits that will help anyone succeed in this world." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
