Confederations Cup 2013: Top 5 Players to watch out for in Italy vs Japan

Mario Balotelli

Winning football matches is about scoring goals and that is why a striker can afford to drift out of the game for a bit as long as he put the final touch on the ball as it rolls into the net. Mario Balotelli did that job for Italy when it mattered the most and he threatens to do it again. Hence, he will be the the most irksome element in the Italian side. Italy have put their confidence in the abilities of Pirlo but they have tried to add that extra pace on the wings so that he can have that extra service that is required to produce the goals. He will have to make sure that he keeps his temper under check in order to become a dangerous weapon in Italy’s arsenal.
