'I expected a phone call' - Jilted Gilardino frustrated with Prandelli

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Alberto Gilardino said that he was disappointed not to get a phone call from Cesare Prandelli to inform him of his omission from Italy's World Cup squad. Gilardino was overlooked for the Azzurri's final 23-man squad for the finals in Brazil, with Alessio Cerci, Lorenzo Insigne, Ciro Immobile and Antonio Cassano selected alongside Mario Balotelli as striking options. The 32-year-old, who played under Prandelli at Parma, admits he felt he deserved better treatment from his former coach after being snubbed from his plans for tournament, which ended in the group stage for Italy. "I expected a phone call from him, I thought we had a different relationship to that after six or seven years together," Gilardino told Sky. "I am certainly disappointed by his behaviour." However, Gilardino insisted he does not resent Prandelli for his lack of a personal touch and praised his former coach for his influence on his development as a forward.
