Italy welcomed almost 4,000 fans to their training session yesterday, but today it was all locked down.
The Azzurri are already staying in Natal ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup showdown with Uruguay, as they need at least a point to progress in the tournament.
On Saturday Cesare Prandelli opened up the doors for the entire training session, welcoming children to the stadium and taking pictures with the locals.
Italy welcomed almost 4,000 fans to their training session yesterday, but today it was all locked down.
The Azzurri are already staying in Natal ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup showdown with Uruguay, as they need at least a point to progress in the tournament.
On Saturday Cesare Prandelli opened up the doors for the entire training session, welcoming children to the stadium and taking pictures with the locals.
However, today the team was locked behind closed doors and went even further, putting special blinds up over all the hotel windows.
The other side of the training camp is on the beach and patrolled by Brazilian authorities, so Italy are keeping their plans for the Uruguay game well hidden.
Nonetheless, most Italian papers suggest Prandelli will move to a 3-4-2-1 system or a 3-5-2.
