Former footballer Giuseppe Bergomi, who spent his entire career at Milan's Inter club, shared his thoughts on how the role of captaincy has changed in recent years. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the responsibilities of a captain have become much more complex and now require more significance than before. Bergomi explained that during his playing days, teams were mainly composed of Italian players, who found it easier to communicate with each other.
Nowadays, however, teams have a more international composition, which requires the captain to convey necessary information to all players clearly and understandably. This increases the captain's responsibility even further.
According to Bergomi, the captain is not only a leader on the field but also a mediator within the team. Thus, in modern football, the role of captaincy encompasses not only athletic ability but also leadership and communication skills.
These changes directly impact the success of the team.
