"Madrīd and Italy's national team defender suggested to the team's strategist Fabio Capello to bring back the Italian, who, like Englishman David Beckham until the weekend, was excluded from the active player list.
A.Cassano, who became unnecessary for the Royal Club, received a lot of interest from his homeland - "Milan", "Inter", "Fiorentina" and "Palermo" clubs wanted to see him among their ranks, but an agreement could not be reached in January. However, now the forward received the endorsement of his compatriot world champion F.Cannavaro.
"We want Antonio to be with us because he works hard every day, and he stays home alone on weekends," said Cannavaro. "We are sorry that he has to experience this, but I understand that we have to respect the club's decision."
F.Cannavaro said he knew that every player contributes to a good team atmosphere and is very important, and also welcomed the successful return of D.Beckham, who scored a goal in the match against "Real Sociedad".
"We all work hard every day and what Antonio is going through is not good," the defender discussed his compatriot's situation. "We all rejoice for David and would like Cassano to come back as well. We are all here to help Real Madrid win."
