PANINI CALLS NATIONAL THE ALBUM HAS COLOURS BRAZIL

Two months or so , at the World Championships to decide who will be the protagonist in the various national teams. Who shall ascend the plane to Brazil and who the coach will leave at home. But there are those who have already made the squad . The Panini sticker album offers a delicious anticipation of the World Championships : the faces of the players, surrounded by the usual array of data to be updated as and when the games are played , with the teams divided by group. A total of 640 figures (40 of which are holographic ) that circulate in a hundred countries around the world .

On the cover of the album there is a news that Panini is very proud . FIFA has authorized the publication of the ‘ scissor kick player ‘ (historically attributed to Carlo Parola ), a symbol of the collections of Players in Italy . A symbol that also returns inside, in the pages of ‘ prologue ‘ devoted to illustrations of trophies and logos , and thus bringing another piece of Italy in the world.

Each National has reported double-page , to have the complete picture at a glance . But the ‘ squad ‘ of the Official World Cup sticker are only 17 . A precise choice , which is similar to that of other collections dedicated to exhibitions iridescent or continental . A system that reduces the margin of error going to fish the players more confident to wear the shirt . At Panini do know that, historically, about 10% of the players should not be represented at the World Cup . But almost all of these because of injuries , very few technical choice . And indeed, this collection presents its already absent of luxury for physical problems : Dutch Kevin Strootman , safe place in the team in February, when the Panini has done the ‘ choices ‘ , betrayed a few weeks ago from the knee .

There is also the other side of the coin, or who is injured now but could, and indeed should , be recovered for June. The album focuses on Giuseppe Rossi , inserted between the attackers blue together with Candreva , Cerci , Gilardino and Balotelli. Definitely a wish shared by coach Prandelli . But we also see the other players of our national team represented : the goal Buffon ( conservative choice , can not go wrong ) ; in defense of the trio Juventus Chiellini, Barzagli and Bonucci most Milan fans Abate and De Sciglio (another victim should recover ) ; Thiago Motta in midfield , De Rossi, Pirlo , Marchisio , Montolivo and Giaccherini . Surely there are other six seats (two are the prerogative of the goalkeepers) , so no one has ‘ cut ‘ out Right rather than property or diamonds than the everlasting Scoop or Cassano . Or Maggio, who also underwent a delicate operation recently, rather than Ranocchia in defense. It ‘ a game, keen to point out the curators of choice , it is up to the daunting task Prandelli .

By the way, and the other national teams ? No Tevez for Argentina, in line with the dictates of Sabella , there are Lavezzi and Higuain , as well as Campagnaro and Biglia . In Germany ‘s Klose , chasing attendance records and goals . Spain without Torres and Llorente (not to hurt anyone … ) . In Colombia confidence in Falcao , another victim who will do anything to recover. Ivory Coast with Drogba and Gervinho ( betting easy ) . In Uruguay , alongside Cavani and Suarez, Forlan check . In Belgium is not (yet) space Nainggolan . In short, there is something for all tastes and preferences .
