Cassano’s Coffin not Completely Closed ?

Antonio Cassano and his recent antics have surely ended the chances of seeing Antonio’s sweet football skills in the AustrianSwisses this summer. Or have they ?

It seems like Roberto Donadoni hasn’t made a final decision concerning The Talented Bari Born Player.

“I think that in terms of psychological calm, Cassano couldn’t ask for more, seeing the good results coming Sampdoria’s way – the Coach noted -. I think the first person who realised that he’d made a mistake was the man himself, and he would be more than glad to wipe out last Sunday’s incident”.

Let’s not forget that Donadoni thought enough of the Barese to select him for the Lithuania and France Qualifiers. Even after seeing his awful Madrid experiences unfold.

Nobody can knock Cassano’s footballing genius, but unfortunately the word ”genius” is the last one that comes to mind if you think of Cassano, the human, not the player. Talentino was born on the same day Italy won the 1982 World Cup. His progression through the calcio ranks from Bari to Real Madrid seem fairy tale-ish, but Cassano could be one of the best players in the world right now. He could own a man bag and get away with it, no problem.

Why does his hot blooded temper get to his head at every minor little incident?
A in form, serene Antonio Cassano is exactly what this Totti-less Nazionale needs.

I don’t care if he needs to accept Jesus in his heart, convert himself to Islam or even if he falls into hard drugs, I, for one, am hoping Antonio pulls his shit together before the Euro.

Forza Anto !
