According to him, a team that had no Italian players on the field won the youth championship two or three years ago. According to the rules, foreign players can be freely recruited after the age of 16, which leads to Italian players falling behind in competition. Recently, there was a coaching change in the Italy national team. Luciano Spalletti resigned and was replaced by Gennaro Gattuso. These changes are expected to affect the team's future results. Improving the skills of young players and developing local talents is considered crucial for the success of the national team.
