AS Roma striker Mattia Destro insists he can be a positive force for Italy at the World Cup.
Destro disputes his reputation as being a little argumentative.
"It's not true. Let's just say I have a particular personality, as I am an introvert and keep myself to myself. I am the same on the pitch, but during a game I give all of myself.
"I am sure it will be a spectacular World Cup. Italy have a very strong team and a wonderful group of people.
"Prandelli is a talented, well-prepared Coach who has already shown his qualities."
