CANNAVARO: "BONAZZOLI HAS BEEN VERY INCISIVE FOR REGGINA RECENTLY. DI MICHELE IS GOOD ON THE WINGS."

APPIANO GENTILE - Nerazzurri defender and Italian national team captain Fabio Cannavaro also spoke to the media during today's press conference.

Is it so complicated to protect Batistuta, Recoba and Vieri?
Yes, it's difficult to cover three strikers. But we have to be intelligent and not leave open too many spaces. We can't ask them to move too much. Us defenders will have to constantly pay great attention.

Recoba has praised Batistuta and Vieri. No-one has two like them...
Yes. To have them plus Recoba is a big advantage for us. Also from the tactical point of view, because if you find yourself in difficulty all you have to do is play a long ball forward to them...

Bonazzoli seems to be very positive for Reggina...
Emiliano has been very incisive in Reggina's recent wins. He's very good in the air and he's very good at defending the ball. Then there's Di Michele who's turning out to be very skilful at exploiting the wings.

Nakata's playing much more at Parma this season than last year...
Hide is a great professional. At Parma I had the chance to get to know him and appreciate the fact that he never created arguements and always trained very hard.
