The Azzurri are preparing to embark upon their campaign in Brazil but competition for starting place will be fierce.

However, the ex-Fiorentina Coach stressed that any players who miss out on playing cannot be allowed to cause unrest in the camp.

“I am convinced and it has to be like that [everyone prepared],” Prandelli told a Press conference. “At a World Cup someone can be crucial for only five minutes.

“No player can create problems because it wouldn’t be self-harming, it would be worse!

“The team needs to share its enthusiasm and I think our biggest fans will be those sat on the bench.

“We are all protagonists and we are all potentially resources, so every decision I make will be shared and accepted with enthusiasm by everyone.

“I don’t want to give the players any added motivation. It’s a given fact that when you have this enthusiasm, there is healthy competition.

“It’s this that will serve us very well.”
