Juventus striker Amauri insists he could still commit to Italy over Brazil. Despite criticism from AC Milan and Italy midfielder Rino Gattuso, Amauri said: "He has his opinion. Other people may have a different one. But it is clear now that if I play for the Italian national team it will not be calculating or a career move, but because I have a feeling. I've been in Italy for 10 years, this country has given me everything and to wear the Azzurri jersey would be a way of repaying it.

"This mess will end very quickly, very quickly. Now I will take my decision soon."
