Prandelli not wary about Italy's form

Prandelli's team face England in their first game on 14 June, but have not won in seven matches and only drew 1-1 with minnows Luxembourg on Wednesday. "Right now we don't need to be talking about results, or even the performance," said the 56-year-old. "You need to look at the physical condition of the players, and we are in great condition." Four-time champions Italy qualified for the World Cup with two matches to spare, but have not won a match since, with their last victory coming in September 2013. Since then they have drawn with Denmark, Armenia, Germany, Nigeria, Republic of Ireland and Luxembourg and lost 1-0 to world champions Spain. Italy are also in the same World Cup group as Uruguay and Costa Rica and Prandelli believes his side will perform in South America. "We're missing a bit of flair, but the point of this preparation is to arrive in Brazil in the right manner," he added. "I didn't see anything worrying, quite the opposite. Psychologically a player going to the World Cup just wants to get through the match. "We didn't put in tackles and we didn't go in with huge determination or will to win."
