The Parma shot-stopper was part of the pre-tournament squad in South America as a reserve, but is now packing his bags to go back to the peninsula on the eve of their first game.

Antonio Mirante is on his way home from Brazil, but believes that Italy can do well at the World Cup.

The Parma shot-stopper was part of the pre-tournament squad in South America as a reserve, but is now packing his bags to go back to the peninsula on the eve of their first game.

But before he boarded the plane, the shot-stopper spoke of Cesare Prandelli’s men and his Crociati teammates.

“I feel good, but I was also conscious of being a reserve,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“I’m delighted to have been a part of this group. I’m confident that I, and the rest of the group, have worked well.

“The first game against England is going to be really important, but I don’t think the climate’s going to be a determining factor.

“We’ve prepared as well as possible. Parolo is fit and can be part of the midfield, and I think Cassano adds something different.”
