| Casiraghi still has reservations |

Italy Under-21 Coach Pierluigi Casiraghi is still unconvinced by his side despite a 4-0 victory over Denmark.
The result was never in any doubt as Mario Balotelli put the Azzurrini in front after just 13 minutes.
Robert Acquafresca doubled his side's lead nine minutes later and if Denmark had any hopes of getting back into the game, they were destroyed when Daniele Dessena added a third after 47 minutes.
The rout was completed when Andrea Ranocchia, the Bari centre-back on loan from Genoa, made it 4-0 with just three minutes left until the final whistle.
However, Casiraghi believes for all of the Azzurrini's success in front of goal, they actually struggled against the Danes.
“I still have some doubts. During the match we did some good things and some not so good things,” Casiraghi explained.
“Our ball possession was good while the condition of our team still wasn't great. We did play a good game.
“In general, the team is doing well, but I still have to decide who to send on the pitch for our first game in the European Championship against Serbia,” he concluded.
