New Delhi: The World Cup winning tactician believes his side have every chance of winning against the likes of Brazil and Spain.
As the Confederations Cup approaches, Italy coach Marcello Lippi is unfazed by the pressure and has confidence in the player's he has chosen for the tournament in South Africa.
"We'll try to win the Confederations Cup, but if that doesn't happen we won't pull our hair out," he said to La Repubblica.
Lippi released his full squad list on Thursday and some of his choices have come under scrutiny from the press.
"I've made consistent choices based on what has happened during the course of the year - in Italy, there are so many good players, even on smaller teams."
Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso only made his comeback from injury after six months out in the final match of the season, but Lippi is confident that the Rossoneri general will be an asset to the squad.
"Gattuso is fine, he is not 100 per cent yet, but to me he is good for a thousand other reasons," he concluded.
