Italy midfielder Marco Parolo has revealed he sees England captain Steven Gerrard as his role model whilst learning to become a top player.

The Parma playmaker is set to feature in Friday's international friendly against Germany in Milan.

"I have always been inspired by Gerrard," Parolo said on Wednesday. "I think he is a point of reference for any midfielder of my generation."

Parolo has been impressive in Serie A this season, scoring five goals while providing two assists so far and it is no surprise he was included in Italy coach Cesare Prandelli's latest roster.

The 28-year-old had been called up once before by Prandelli back in March 2011 but never played.

With seven months to go before the World Cup in Brazil, Prandelli will be evaluating prospects in upcoming friendlies against Germany and Nigeria on Monday and Parolo hopes to make an impact.
