The game has changed considerably compared to when he played...

Italy legend Salvatore Schillaci hopes that the Azzurri can play a major part in the World Cup, commencing on Friday.
Schillaci knows that the game has changed since his time playing for La Nazionale, with strikers having more of a defensive aspect to their game.
"I hope that our nation can be a protagonist in South Africa," the Italia 1990 hero said to TuttoNapoli.net. "[Italy coach Marcello] Lippi has chosen a strong group, without a fantasista like [Francesco] Totti or [Roberto] Baggio.
"Football has changed so much from when I played. Attackers now need to drop back and give a hand defensively.
"A fixed role up front does not exist anymore," he added.
