意大利門將布豐表示,他現在仍然常常想起自己的俱樂部球隊,尤文圖斯隊,在2003年歐洲冠軍聯賽決賽中,點球大戰敗給了AC米蘭隊的場景。
布豐説:“在我還是個孩子時,我常常想通過點球贏得比賽。但在尤文圖斯敗給AC米蘭後,我再也不願進行點球大戰了。在托蒂對澳大利亞的比賽中罰點球時,我沒有敢看他罰的那一刻。如果我們和烏克蘭比賽中再次進行點球大戰時,我也不會看我的隊友們罰球。”
近日,意大利的主教練利皮在訓練中專門加練了點球。
另外,前鋒亞昆塔已經通過了身體檢查,他可以亮相與烏克蘭的比賽。

Italy keeper Buffon dreading shoot-out
Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is haunted by club side Juventus' defeat to AC Milan on penalties in the 2003 Champions League final and is desperate to avoid a similar situation in the Azzurri's World Cup quarter-final against Ukraine.
Buffon was in goal at Old Trafford when Milan, who had Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko in their side, won 3-2 on penalties after the match finished goalless after normal and extra-time.
The Italians, who had been reduced to 10 men early in the second half of their last game against Australia, looked to be heading to extra-time before Fabio Grosso won a penalty at the end of injury time and Francesco Totti drove home the spot-kick.
'Since I was a kid I dreamed of winning games on penalties,' said Buffon.
'But since the Champions League final in Manchester I no longer dream about that.
'I didn't see Totti's penalty kick against Australia.
'If we had to go to penalties against Ukraine I would not look at the penalties taken by my team-mates, it would be too emotional.'
Italy coach Marcello Lippi is not taking any chances, however, and has had his players practising penalty taking on Thursday's training while Buffon has been also spent time in workouts trying to keep out spot-kicks.
Udinese striker Vincenzo Iaquinta was unable to take part in that training having struggled for the past two days with a muscular injury.
He has passed a late fitness test and will be available for the showdown in Hamburg
