Lippi makes four changes
Sunday 21 June, 2009

Italy Coach Marcello Lippi has made four changes to his side ahead of tonight's game against Brazil in the Confederations Cup.

The Azzurri ideally need to beat the Seleçao this evening if they are to have any chance of going through to the next round.

They lost 1-0 to Egypt on Thursday night and were widely criticised for their style of play.

Lippi has apparently given Liverpool full-back Andrea Dossena the nod ahead of Fabio Grosso.

Riccardo Montolivo is set to replace Rino Gattuso in the heart of the midfield.

Up front, Luca Toni is likely to start in the middle of an attacking trident instead of Alberto Gilardino.

He will be flanked by Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi, who missed the game against Egypt.
