The national team is preparing for tomorrow's friendly match with Romania. This morning, at the last training session before leaving Coverciano for Klagenfurt, Prandelli tested the trident with Diamanti, Rossi and Balotelli . The latter continued to touch his knee, so was later replaced by Quagliarella. Also during practice the coach had an unusual midfield consisting of three, Aquilani, Mauri and Ledesma. In defense, in front of Viviano, Santon and Balzaretti on the sides of the central pair Ranocchia-Bonucci.

Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli inherits the number 10 shirt of Antonio Cassano. Here are the numbers for Wednesday's game in Austria.

Prandelli has announced the same formation as in today’s training. The national coach said in a press conference: "Balotelli? He is well; wants to prove his worth and I am sure will have a good match. I do not think that he will feel the pressure. The players like him have something extra. They are 20 year old kids, who off the pitch have their weaknesses and frailties, but on the field it is another thing, they are mature and play well".

"I expect a lot from the point of construction of moves, I want to see quality and imagination. We want to play with two fast strikers like Balotelli and Giuseppe Rossi, with Diamanti behind. We will have to pay attention and maintain the proper distance between departments, but I prefer to make 4 or 5 counter-attacks rather than see a timid team timid in attack. Even without Mutu, Romania is a formidable opponent, which plays an organized football. He has players with a lot of experience in the European Championships; therefore we should not underestimate anyone".
