Who Italian Captain? Or Buffon Del Piero?

The debate has started in Italy over who will replace Fabio Cannavaro as the new captain of Italy, and it seems to be directly between the grounds of race Gianluigi Buffon and Alessandro Del Piero.

Manninger and the macho was tested in Austria's friendlies against Nigeria and Malta last week, which led to a 1-1 draw with the African side and a 5-1 win Malta.

"It can only help the national team, because we have the same technically good players, but they are also used for more physical play and contact information.

You can see it in Liverpool. We have the players who have a lot of quality like Xabi Alonso and Torres, and they do not shy away from physical contact.

"They are very good players, but they are fighting for every ball. This makes us (Spain) more fully."
