Press praises Azzurri

AFP, Rome
Italian newspapers were lavish in their praise of the national side on Wednesday following the 2-0 win over France which took them into the last eight at Euro 2008.
Whereas there was anger following the defeat to the Dutch, worry after drawing with Romania, there was unashamed joy and excitement about Sunday's quarterfinal with Spain.
"Too Beautiful" was how La Gazzetta dello Sport reported the match, with particular praise for scorer of the opening goal Andrea Pirlo, who the paper rated as man of the match.
On the inside cover the paper headlined; "An Italian Miracle, Thank You Holland and now for ^pain."
Pirlo, who will be suspended for the Spain clash along with club colleague Gennaro Gattuso,
was the centre of attention saying: "it was said, it was done."
The joy of qualifying was tempered for the Italian press by the knowledge that next up are Spain, a team in great form and one who beat Italy 1-0 when they met in a friendly in March.
In particular La Gazzetta was concerned about taking on their strikers Fernando Torres and David Villa, warning Roberto Dbnadoni's men, "Keep an eye on those two -- On Sunday we’re playing a team in better form and their strikers should scare us."
Italy and Spain's head-to-head record gets examined, with the world champions slightly ahead with nine wins to Spain's eight.
They point out that the last time the sides met in a tournament, two goals from Roberto Baggio gave Italy a 2-1 victory at the 1994 World Cup.
Corru ri Jello Sport was even
more effusive in its praise, leading on its front cover with; "Viva Italia -- In Zurich a great night for theAzzurri."
"Applause for Italy," declared Daniele De Rossi, scorer of the second goal and official man of the match, who played dowm his achievement insisting that: "Everyone deserved this award."
The paper also reports comments from Spain captain Carlos Puyol, who in a text to Italy team manager Demitrio Albertini an ex-college at Barcelona, said. "Come on brothers, we are ready for you."
La Repubblica saw elements of Italy's victorious 2006 World Cup team in the victory over France.
"Italy return to greatness, beat France 2-0 and fly into the quarterfinals," the paper said, adding that Spain was already casting nervous glances ahead to their quarterfinal in Vienna.
