Rossi needs this. Rossi DESERVES this. A player this good with that much ability, must show his skills at the biggest stage. Sometimes, if I had a wish, I would wish that good footballers would never get injured. I don't see the point in it happening. Good footballers should always be healthy. So, I pray that Rossi can be fit this season and can head into his first World Cup, fit as three fiddles. It all starts with what he can do for Fiorentina...
Rossi has already started the season with a BULLET. Eleven goals already and more importantly, doing it with an OKAY Fiorentina team. That right there bodes well for Italy and Prandelli. It means the injury has not hampered him and he can also get it done without having great players around. So one can just imagine what he can do with Pirlo on the pitch.
For him and Fiorentina, not a lot is expected. They don't have enough skill and sex in their side to compete, so it's all about Rossi getting sharp again and playing football. Please, all I ask is he stays away from lunging tackles and does not over stretch himself. Fine, the club pays your wage, but it's all about and it will always be about your country. Rossi just needs to get used to scoring, and take that habit to Brazil in good shape. Whatever happens to Fiorentina, I could care less, I am sorry. It's ALL about the World Cup.
Say what you will about Mario, he is VITAL to Italy really making some headway at the World Cup. If he can combine with Rossi well, then I will raise both hands and say they will be the most deadly partnership. It's the good old big and small combination, and Balotelli loves playing deeper and Rossi loves running into space. Recipe for greatness....IF it can actually click and both players are fit.
