Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi has reacted angrily to being left out of the Italy squad for Euro 2008.
Azzurri boss Roberto Donadoni today named a provisional 24-man squad for Austria and Switzerland, a number which will then be reduced to a final 23 next Wednesday.
Many people believed that AC Milan veteran Pippo Inzaghi should have earned a call-up after a quite stunning end to the season, during which he scored 10 goals in his last seven games.
However Donadoni opted to select Luca Toni, Alessandro Del Piero, Antonio Cassano, Antonio Di Natale, Fabio Quagliarella, and the seemingly out-of-form Marco Borriello instead.
“Evidently my injury was enough to mean that I didn’t even deserve a phone call and to cancel out what I thought was a mature, adult relationship,” stated a bitter Inzaghi, who did then go on to say that he hoped Italy would still do well without him.
“I am disappointed to have been left out, but I sincerely wish all the best to the Azzurri for the European Championship.”
Inzaghi, who scored 18 goals in total this season in all competitions, was Italy's second top-scorer in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, but like the Euros four years earlier he will not get the chance to appear in the finals.
With the prolific bomber set to turn 35 in a few months, we may have now seen Inzaghi for the last time in an Italy shirt. The former Juve man has scored 25 goals in just 57 games for his country and was part of the 2006 World Cup winning squad in Germany.
