World Cup 2010 Blog: Cesare Prandelli’s Attack Of The Idiots

---

Cesare Prandelli’s Attack Of The Idiots Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:31 AM PDT Let’s get this out in the open: Antonio Cassano, Francesco Totti, Mario Balotelli….none of these men could have split the atom. Extraordinary, occasionally unbelievable, physical and athletic talents, but they don’t quite possess the same intellectual prowess. Totti’s written a book of jokes about it (alright, maybe ghostwritten), Balotelli has hinted at such recently and with enough digging, I’m sure there’s a slightly depressing, Mike Tyson-esque quote of resignation from Talentino in which he waxes on how stupid he be. Maybe Cesare Prandelli has something up his sleeve, or maybe he’s referring to their footballing IQs (likely, but let’s ignore it for a second), but he has a quote in which he claims to want players of Balotelli’s “intellectual capacity” directly after hinting at a return of the telepathic duo of Totti & Cassano to the Italian attack. “The idea of seeing Totti and Cassano together in the national team is a particular desire, we’re talking about friendship, a relationship that exists between them. We wanted to create an occasion which would be an example for kids who would want to watch the match. I said it would be great for two friends to rediscover each other on the pitch.” Another player Prandelli wants to see back in his squad is 20-year-old Balotelli. “I miss him because I really want to try out an attack with players of his intellectual capacity,” added Prandelli. This could spawn a sequel to Totti’s novella of yuckers: How best to stop the Italian Cassano-Totti-Balotelli tridente? Long division.
