Italy ace Giampaolo Pazzini is trying to boost his image and that of the team as he rallies for maximum points in their Euro 2012 double-header against Estonia and the Faroe Islands.

And while the fixture list may appear less than melodramatic, the hitman insists Italy cannot take things for granted and he was at pains to stress the need to start well.

"We have to cancel the past and qualify for the European Championships as soon as we can," he told the press.

"There is some pressure around us, but we have to try to get the six points by winning and ensuring the fans enjoy it.

"We must try to do well tomorrow because it's not normal for Italy to have a seven match winless streak."

Hopes of success hang on Antonio Cassano, and Pazzini insists he can make it happen.

"Cassano is tranquil and he is always speaking inside the dressing room. We all find ourselves well with him," he said.
