Prandelli counting on Cassano to make most of AC Milan chance

Italy boss Cesare Prandelli is backing Antonio Cassano to be successful at AC Milan.

Prandelli is keen to build his team around the attacking midfielder.

"He feels a great responsibility because he is becoming a father," Prandelli said.

"He feels a great responsibility for his family and I don't think he will make any more mistakes.

"Actually he should do more Press Conferences because he is very likeable.

"During the thing with Samp I called Antonio. It's in my nature that when everyone is against someone, I naturally align myself on the side of the person who is being attacked and that's what I did for Antonio.

"I didn't call him up to the Italy squad for as long as he was out of the team at Sampdoria. Now he is playing and we are monitoring him.

"If he has a certain amount of continuity then he will be called up for the next game."
