Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio is highly critical of the decisions made by coach Marcello Lippi, saying that the Azzurri are struggling because of out-of-position players.
Marchisio admits that he has been changing roles on the pitch all year, and is unsure of what he is meant to do.
"Here at the World Cup, many players are playing in roles they are not accustomed to," the 24-year-old to TuttoSport. "The coach is making a lot of experiements.
"It is all year long that I have been changing roles, but now have become accustomed to it. Changing so much has caused us to get things wrong.
"There is a lot of confusion between us, but the coach has the right experience to get us out of this situation.
"The team might be demoralised because we thought we could overcome the group much easier," he concluded.
