Our ability to continuously change makes us more difficult to read, not just from one game to another, but also during the game. We have players who can play in different positions - and this can only be an advantage.
UEFA.com: Juventus player as you are well aware of the obvious Giorgio Chiellini. How would you feel completely lost from the side?
Bonucci: We will certainly feel the absence of Chiellini because he is charismatic, aggressive player. He was commander of the side and the lack of it is definitely a negative note. But we will try to overcome the loss with other properties. This team likes to play good, aggressive football.
UEFA.com: talk of aggression, what do you think of England? What are the strengths and who are the players to keep an eye on?
Bonucci: Recently England has taken in more than a feel of Italy, after it was Capello, who pays great attention to detail in terms of shape from the side. England tend to play 4-4-2 and more focused on defending well and catching the difference in the counter-attack with [Theo] Walcott, [Wayne] Rooney, [Danny] Welbeck.
Then they also have [Andy] Carroll, a tall, good in the air, giving it a chance to play for a long, high ball and support in numbers. So these are the characteristics of England: they are watchful in defense, and ready to counter-attack.
UEFA.com: The guns of any type of striker would prefer to fight? Andy Carroll type or smaller, faster players with good technique?
Bonucci: If I had to choose I prefer to play against Rooney, Welbeck. They are not the easiest of the mark - Rooney player of world-class who can win matches on his own - but if well marked so that he could struggle.
UEFA.com: Cesare Prandelli coach seems ready too. What he wished to play for Ukiew was the inspiration for his players?
Bonucci: he was chosen to be the coach of the national team because it is obvious that many of the attributes. One of them is his ability to communicate with the side and was flown from calm. In terms of tactical savvy that he is a genius. It can be deployed side at will.
UEFA.com: It was an incredible year for you personally. Do you ever imagined it would go well now?
Bonucci: I was hoping it would be. It was hard in the beginning of the season because I came back from vacation was a little too long, so it was short of fitness, and I paid for it in the first few months. There were also rumors of the transfer of the few that have disappeared for good luck.
I stayed at Juventus, and has become one of the leaders of the side and the Italian champions. Now that it has won back my place in the national team and your presence here in Poland is a source of great pride to me, and now we hope to go to the maximum extent possible.
UEFA.com: How do you feel when you put on a shirt Italy?
