Mancini: Italy always hard to beat in World Cup

Galatasaray coach Roberto Mancini believes Italy will be tough to beat at the World Cup.

Mancini is pleased to see some young players get their chance under coach Cesare Prandelli.

"To play against them is tough, because they are always are and it is hard to deal with them. I really like and admire Insigne and Immobile. I think the novelty [this summer] will be a youngster.

"Giuseppe Rossi? He is very good. He had recovered but Prandelli I believe with regret, because it is difficult to leave out a player, has made his assessment."
