Gianluca Zambrotta was proud of Italy's performance in last night's win over Montenegro.
The Milan defender played a full 90 minutes as the Azzurri saw off Montenegro 2-1 in Lecce after a 0-0 draw in Bulgaria at the weekend.
“We played better against Montenegro than we did against Bulgaria from an offensive point of view,' Zambrotta told Sky Sport 24.
“We created more, perhaps as a result giving away a little more at the back, which is inevitable.
“I think we had lots of chances, but the main thing is that we got the three points and we are top because you can't always play spectacular football.”
Marcello Lippi called up four new faces for the last two World Cup 2010 qualifiers.
“The boss is weighing up several new and young players,” Zambro said.
“With players like Simone Pepe, Riccardo Montolivo, Giuseppe Rossi, Christian Maggio and Fabiano Santacroce determined to prove themselves, the Azzurri side can only benefit.
“The young players have shown great character to play without fear and they have found themselves in such a close-knit group.
“We all get on well and laugh and joke together and that unity is an important strength.”
Zambrotta has 80 Italy caps to his name and is 10th in the Azzurri's all-time appearance list.
