zaza was great but a bit unlucky-- scored the first goal for italy (his first international goal as well) but he missed 2 fantastic chances in the 2nd half (one hit the goalpost, another was saved by a norwegian defender from the goal line after zaza chipped it in). good striker instincts though.
very nice, signor conte, very nice…
(on yet-better news, i heard he convinced pirlo to return… which he has… pirlo is nursing a hip injury but should return next month.)

Yeah, I watched it too. Zaza really impressed me. Good win against a not shit Norway team. I really rate Conte. There were too many players out with suspensions or injuries tonight to know exactly what he's gonna do, but he created a 3-5-2 at Juventus that was nigh on impenetrable so you'd expect something similar for Italy. I liked Prandelli but Italy rarely felt like 'Italy' for me while he was in charge. Formation wise Conte's still a way from a traditional Italian defence but going on what he did at Juve, no less effective.
