Is it going to be great out of the chute? Probably not. But it'll be a solid implementation and a lot of customers will take advantage of it.

We really figured out where we were as a team coming after the CM game. Our special teams were solid and we had two great kickoff returns. Defensively we played well against some quality athletes. And they were as big a team as we're going to see.

There are 29 players here and I wanted them to feel part of the project - this is not a project that stops at the World Cup. Don't forget that shortly after the World Cup we have a friendly in August and then in September qualification for the European championships begins.

We want to win them. It's really simple. We want to start out strong, be solid, so it's probably those three in that order. We know (we'll be on the road) before we start. It would be easy to make that an excuse but we can't do that. We have to show the other team, our fans and ourselves that, wherever we play, we can get the job done.

I'm not influenced by what goes on at Juventus. What I always say is that when he joins up with the Italy squad, he leaves behind him any problems he may have with his club.

I met him at Viareggio and I saw that he was upset, but I did not think he would do so far.
