Prandelli is not worried after the draw against Northern Ireland yesterday. In particular, he's happy with Cassano: "This Cassano is enough. I challenge analysts to find a player able to create about five goal-scoring chances and pure assists as he did yesterday. He always played in the right position, putting the defence in difficulties. He satisfied me a lot. Should his performances continue until 10 years from now, heaven knows where he will be playing."

Prandelli is now preparing the next qualifier against Serbia, but he will decide the line-up on Monday.
