Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has told his team-mates they must improve for the remaining two World Cup group stage matches, as the Azzurri were held to a 1-1 draw against Paraguay on Monday night.

The recent Al-Ahli signing admitted that Marcello Lippi's side weren't happy with the final result and that Italy had to win "these kind of matches."

"We are not happy with the result," the 36-year-old stated. "A football team like Italy has to win these kinds of matches.

"Paraguay concentrated on defence, not attack.

"We played well in the second half, but it is not easy to score a goal when you are losing.

"We must do better in our next two games."
