Marcello Lippi

Lippi set to shake it up for All Whites clash...

Italy coach Marcello Lippi is expected to revamp his team for Sunday's clash against New Zealand by swapping tactics and players in the hope it amends the weaknesses uncovered against Paraguay.
Sky Sport Italia claims Lippi is set to scrap a 4-2-3-1 and use a 4-4-2 in its place after it proved effective during the 1-1 draw against the South Americans on Monday.
Vincenzo Iaquinta and Claudio Marchisio are likely to make way for Mauro Camoranesi and Antonio Di Natale.
The midfielder will play on the right flank, whereas the hitman will keep Alberto Gilardino company up front.
Federico Marchetti will stand in for Gianluigi Buffon, who is nursing a back injury. Andrea Pirlo is not ready to return, but he should be back for the Slovakia clash next week.
Meanwhile, training resumed at the Southdowns College this morning with the players stretching in a warm-up before running and taking part in ball work exercises.
