Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis is hopeful they'll have representatives in Italy's World Cup squad.

De Laurentiis is backing defender Paolo Cannavaro to join brother Fabio, of Juventus, in South Africa.

The movie mogul said: "Paolo Cannavaro has been with us for a long time now and he still has a chance to go to the World Cup.

"But he is not the only one. Christian Maggio and Fabio Quagliarella are in great form too. And don't forget about Hugo Campagnaro, he has a double passport and considering his displays lately he could be an interesting player for Marcello Lippi."
