Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is excited to be going to the European Championships.

Prandelli is going to Euro 2012 after Italy qualified unbeaten in their group for a record-breaking run.

"I had found a strike force that worked well with Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano, so we hope they recover in time.

"Spain gave great consistency to their results and showed all their football DNA with a talented Coach and many impressive individuals.

"I am also very impressed by the work done by Joachim Löw on the German bench. Löw renewed the squad and lowered the average age, but above all adopted a different style of football. He broke the stereotype of German football and showed a different aspect to their culture.

"More should take that example, as it is the only way to progress."
