Italy Coach Roberto Donadoni was so angry at a television debate on whether he should’ve called Luca Toni that he rang up to respond on the air.
Don dives in to Toni debate
The tactician has been under fire ever since he took over from World Cup winner Marcello Lippi, managing just one draw and two defeats on the bench.
The Euro 2008 qualifiers were particularly disappointing and, in the light of his brace against Inter last night, the debate is raging on why he chose not to call up Fiorentina hitman Toni for those games.
“Ask Toni why I didn’t call him up,” snapped Donadoni as he rang in live on local television channel Telelombardia.
“He hadn’t played a single 90-minute match before the Italy qualifiers. I spoke to him and all the other players beforehand to discuss fitness levels and the decision over whether to bring him along or not.”
Toni was the Serie A Capocannoniere last season with 31 goals and Italy’s joint World Cup top scorer with two.

Carlo Ancelotti: “Ricardo Oliveira broke through the moment he got on the field. He needs to improve, but he has the potential of a great striker, even if he isn’t 100 per cent fit yet. Lazio caused us problems because they used their pace and we struggled against that. I saw Inter play yesterday in good shape and it’ll be difficult to catch them with our penalty, but we want to do it at all costs.”
Delio Rossi: “In the first half we could’ve had more grit and determination to really attack three or four chances, then we made a mistake at the back and the situation changed completely. The game got away from us. We played well here, though, and managed to really scare the Rossoneri.”
