Pirlo: Italy will attack in World Cup

Juventus veteran Andrea Pirlo says Italy will play attacking football at the World Cup.

The Azzurri open their campaign against England.

"We play attacking football. We try to control games and enjoy ourselves, and we have often succeeded in this," he told the Financial Times.

"It will be the same at the World Cup. I think we will play well - we have everything in place in order to have a successful tournament.

"Every child's dream is to take part in a World Cup in Brazil - I'm lucky to have this opportunity."
