The first hours of Italy in Mangalore, in Rio de Janeiro, were fun to major players in the group. Rest after the long trip that departed from Rome, some athletes have known the beauties of luxury resort that will be concentrated to the World Cup. Among the attractions, a stuffed playroom.

Balotelli was one of the first to set foot out of the room. The striker, best hope for the Azzurri World, circulated by some areas of the site, but ended up spending most of the time playing pool.

While playing the striker, the two most experienced players opted for moments of relaxation. The goalkeeper Buffon and midfielder Pirlo , world champions in 2006, went to the beach, exclusive for the Azzurri - guards prevent the approach of condo residents and curious.

By order of coach Cesare Prandelli, social networking players are being controlled. They can not display details of the merger. So the photos posted on the internet are just the beach, with neither appearing.

 

The games room, incidentally, is quite equipped for the delegation, especially with video games.4:03 two Playstation Xbox, major consoles today and a plethora of games have been installed. To support as many games, the Italians sent to Brazil five 46-inch televisions. There is also table tennis and foosball.

The devices also appear in the rooms. The TVs in the hotel, of smaller size, were replaced by 46 in each housing. The main lobby won a 70-inch.

Only around 15h players in Italy will make the first activity in Brazil. They train at the hotel, without the presence of the press. The Cup debut is scheduled for June 14 against England at 19h (GMT), the Arena Amazonia in Manaus.
