Mazzola unimpressed by Italy in World Cup win

Azzurri legend Sandro Mazzola is worried about Italy despite their World Cup victory over England.

Mazzola was bemused by Cesare Prandelli's team formation.

"I thought it was a so-so performance," claimed Mazzola on TGCom.

"I don't really agree with this unstoppable enthusiasm I hear around me. The best man on the pitch for Italy was the goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, which means England had many scoring opportunities.

"They were wasteful and we did well to make the most of their mistakes. In order to fix this, I think Cesare Prandelli either needs to change system or players.

"First of all, I don't like Giorgio Chiellini as a left-back. Of course Mattia De Sciglio's injury robbed the Coach of some options, but I think that if we don't make changes then we'll have trouble in future."
