Palermo captain Fabrizio Miccoli has admitted that any lingering hopes of being called up to the Italy team for this summer's World Cup finals look to have disappeared, but he endorsed Amauri's case for a spot in the World Cup squad.
Having scored 10 league goals this season to help the Rosanero up to fourth place, Miccoli is sure that he would be in the squad if Marcello Lippi wasn't in charge.
"Lippi chooses who goes with la Nazionale," Miccoli told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"If [Serse] Cosmi was coach, I would definitely [be in the squad]. But Cosmi coaches Livorno.
"Will I go to the World Cup? No... those who have played the qualifiers will go, [Antonio] Di Natale will go because he has a special relationship with Lippi. [Francesco] Totti will go if he's in good shape and if he wants to.
"Who would I take? Three [strikers], plus Amauri. Di Natale and then [Vincenzo] Iaquinta or [Alberto] Gilardino. I would play with two secondary strikers and one target man. It would be a great Italy. [Antonio] Cassano, Amauri and I. Di Natale, Amauri and I," he mused.
Miccoli also looked ahead to tonight's game with Inter, and he revealed his admiration for Nerazzurri boss Jose Mourinho.
"Mourinho? I like him a lot. He's the best and the results say so. He will have his reasons for saying certain things - he's said a lot, but he hasn't been wrong very often."
