Top 10: Dodgy Sacchi call-up
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/topten/sacchicaps.html
10. Mauro Tassotti
There is no doubt that he had a fine club career with Milan, but he was perhaps past his best when the Italy call came. Handed his debut as a 32-year-old in 1992, he went on to USA ’94 but made the headlines for the wrong reason. His elbow on Luis Enrique in the last eight saw him handed an eight-match ban. Needless to say, that was the end of his seven-cap Azzurri adventure.
9. Fabio Petruzzi
A decent defender at club level but, with all due respect, he didn’t have the tactical awareness to rival Italy’s very best defenders at the time. Having impressed for Roma under the tutorship of Carlo Mazzone, he was rewarded with a Sacchi cap after replacing Lorenzo Minotti at half-time of a 2-0 loss to Germany in 1995. He didn’t get another chance.
8. Daniele Carnasciali
An imposing full-back who caught Sacchi’s eye while at Fiorentina. A good but nothing special player, he was tried out in two friendlies against Turkey in December 1994 and in a November 1996 Bosnia reverse. That was not just his final game in the Azzurri shirt, but it also proved to be Sacchi’s last in charge.
7. Sergio Porrini
One of numerous right-backs tested by Arrigo, the Atalanta man was handed just two caps in 1993 before being consigned to the international scrap heap. It wasn’t all bad news for the average Sergio though, seeing as his Azzurri recognition did earn him a multi-million pound move to Italian giants Juventus.
6. Roberto Rambaudi
A move to Lazio in 1994 after spells at Foggia and Atalanta catapulted him into the thoughts of Sacchi. Having made his bow in the 2-0 win in Estonia, he was replaced at half-time by Roberto Donadoni in the shock 2-1 home loss to Croatia which jeopardised Italy’s spot at Euro ’96. We never saw the winger in the Italy shirt again.
5. Giorgio Venturin
Another of Sacchi’s 45-minute gang. Taken to the 1992 US Cup competition, the then Torino midfielder replaced teammate Luca Fusi – another questionable Sacchi selection – at half-time of the 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland. Venturin went on to play for Lazio and Atletico Madrid, but another cap was, unsurprisingly, beyond him.

5.文图林
又一个问题用人，参加了1992年的美国杯 ，他在2比0战胜爱尔兰的比赛中将自己的都灵队友卢卡.福西——又一个问题人选替换下场。文图林的俱乐部生涯中还曾经为拉齐奥，马德里竞技等队效力。

4. Massimiliano Cappioli
Roman born and bred, the former Cagliari wide midfielder was something of a fan favourite in the Italian capital. However, he was somewhat of an acquired taste whose ability never really matched his endeavour. Sacchi was perhaps not even that keen as he gave him just 25 minutes in his one and only cap in a February ’94 defeat to France in Naples.
3. Antonio Manicone
A more substance than style central midfielder who was called up for the 3-0 win over Estonia in September 1993. The then Inter man played the full 90 minutes, but that would be the pinnacle of his career. He never appeared for the Azzurri again and moved on to Genoa and Perugia where relegation to Serie B with both followed.
2. Daniele Zoratto
Given his one and only cap as a 31-year-old, Zoratto was such a surprising call-up for the 1993 World Cup qualifier in Switzerland that some journalists at Coverciano were not totally sure of who he was. An organised central midfielder, Zoratto benefited from the fact that Sacchi remembered him from their spell together at Rimini in 1982-83!
1. Andrea Silenzi
When Silenzi joined Nottingham Forest the local Press went wild with claims that the club had signed an Italian international. It was true, but the reality is that he was given 45 minutes in a 1-0 1994 defeat to France. The lanky, big nosed, ungainly Torino target man was the ultimate one-cap wonder.

1.安德烈.西伦齐
西伦齐在加盟英格兰老牌球会诺丁汉森林的时候一度引起了当地的轰动，但是这位意大利人的国家队生涯仅仅是在1994年0比1不敌法国队的比赛中登场亮相了45分钟。这位瘦高笨重的大鼻子都灵中锋成为了萨基手下不折不扣的过客。 |
