AZZURRI
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, July 1 (AFP): Penpix of the probable Italian team:
FRANCESCO TOLDO
Two outstanding seasons in goal with Fiorentina earned him a place in the squad, and an injury to Gianluigi Buffon Just before Euro 2000 got him a place in the starting line-up. Toldo has risen to the task -conceding just two goals In Italy's five matches and saving three penalties in the semi-final with Holland.
France need to beware his prophetic comment before Italy’s opener against Turkey: "We have to play to the death. Every match has to be like a relegation decider or a final.,If we play like that, no-one else has a chance."
FABIO CANNAVARO
Parma's pint-sized defender produced a towering performance against Holland and. along with Nesta, formed the main buttress of the Italian defence. At club level, he forms the most envied defensive partnership of Serie A alongside Lilian Thuram. who he faces in Sunday's final.
Naples born and bred, and a product of the Napoli youth system. he was a ball-boy at the stadium there when team idol Diego Maradona led Argentina to a penalty shoot-out victory over Italy at the 1990 World Cup.
ALESSANDRO NESTA
The captain of newly-crowned Italian champions Lazio looks destined to succeed Franco Baresi as the next defensive legend of Italian football. He practically marked Patrick Kluivert out of the semi-final with Holland.
Blessed with great technique and. like Cannavaro. has an extraordinary ability to anticipate a pass to his attacker before it’s even been made, thereby enabling him to reach the ball first. Makes very few mistakes, and even fewer with each season that passes - he's only 24.
MARK IULIANO
If the Italian defensive system known as "catenaccio" means heavy chain' then its only weak link is this tough, hard-working but technically limited Juventus defender. Baf-(led by Dennis Bergkamp's dribble which allowed the
Dutch striker to lilt the post in the semi-final, he also conceded Italy's second penalty with a late l.ukle that tripped his Ju-lentu.s teammate Eagar Davids
Prone to hoofing the ball into the stands under pressure, he is best known in Italy for bundling Ronaldo to the floor in the penalty area during a 1998 championship decider against Inter Milan - and getting away with it
PAOLO MALDINI
On course to become Italy's most capped international. Maldlni makes up with sheer class and experience what he lacks in pace, as the 32-year-old demonstrated when faced with quicksilver Dutch winger Marc Overmars.
His father. Cesare, was Italy's coach at France 98 and with AC Milan in 1963 became the first Italian skipper to lift the European Cup. Son Paolo made his AC Milan debut at 16, like his dad as a defender, and also became team captain. Has won everything at club level -but nothing internationally.
ANGELO DI LIVIO
An Italian. European and world champion with Juventus. Di Livio was miffed by being off-loaded to Fiorentina in 1999. However, the diminutive midfielder soon shrugged off the disappointment - conquering the Florence fans who traditionally hate anything to do with Juventus and keeping bis place in the national squad. -
Unflagging in his devotion to duty on the wing, where he is a tireless runner. Di Livio's nickname in Italy is "11 Sol-datino' ("the Little' Soldier").
LUIGI DI BIAGIO
Made headlines when he crashed a penalty onto the crossbar in Italy's quarter-final shoot-out with France in the 1998 World Cup, and then fell flat on his back. Tormented by the miss ever since, he left AS Roma for Inter Milan last season. where he struggled to win himself a first-team place.
Has courage, fighting spirit and a powerful shot. Italy will need him when it conies to scrapping in midfield. It took guts to volunteer for Thursday s penalty shoot-out with Holland, and composure to drive the ball home.
DEMETRIO ALBERTINI
Born in the suburbs of Milan
and a pillar of AC's midfield, his form at club level has been mixed in recent seasons, despite helping the club to (he Italian league title in 1999. Dropped for a spell before these championships by club coach Alberto Zaccheroni, he has really raised his game at Euro 2000.
France will need to watch out for his specialty on Sunday - the laser-guided long ball over the heads of the opposing defence for Filippo Inzaghi to run onto.
STEFANO FIORE
Unknown in late April, barely a month before Dino Zoff drew up his list of 22 for this tournament. Fiore has won over his coach, his teammates and more than 50 million Italians with a series of convincing performances at Euro 2000
A star in the making, and the only one to come out of the relative poverty of Reggio Calabria. where the N'Drangheta Mafia s word is law. Fiore has (he ball skills and creative talent that Italv Iravc been so badly lacking in midfield.
ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO
Picked for the semi-final against Holland, and now tipped to keep his place against France at the expense of Francesco Totti. Del Piero has still to show the unstoppable form he had two years ago - before a cruciate ligament injury suffered in November \J998 ruled, him out lor about 10 ' month's* '
Seen as the natural successor to Roberto Baggio, who he evicted from Juventus in 1995 as a mere 20-year-old. Del Piero has yet to shine internationally after being a flop at both Euro 96 and France 98.
FILIPPO INZAGHI
The ultimate goalhanger. Inzaghi lives in the twilight world between on- and off-side, waiting for his chance to sprint forward and score. A master of the blind-side run in the penalty area, he is a nightmare for Serie A defenders.
Sadly, has a reputation for diving, enhanced at Euro 2000 by winning - and then converting - the matchwinning penalty against Turkey. But he also showed his clinical finishing by scoring on the break against Romania in the quarter-finals.
