De Laurentiis' plan to save Italian football
After the Italian national team was deprived of a ticket to the 2026 World Cup, Napoli club president Aurelio De Laurentiis presented his detailed plan to solve the existing problems in the country's football. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Recall that the Italian national team coach Gennaro Gattuso's pupils lost the decisive match to Bosnia and Herzegovina, missing the opportunity and losing in the penalty shootout. This was a huge blow to Italian football, as the team failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time.
According to De Laurentiis, the number of teams in Serie A was previously 16, but now it has reached 20. He believes that reducing the number of teams back to 16 and canceling the Super Cup matches held in Saudi Arabia could save players' energy.
Also, player salaries should be paid not by FIFA or UEFA, but by Italian clubs. This, in turn, would increase the time for training and preparation for the national team.
De Laurentiis emphasized that there is no point in looking for someone to blame now, as Italian football has been stagnant and undeveloped for many years. He expressed confidence in standing for fairness in football and carrying out effective reforms.
Thus, the systemic problems in Italian football and the reforms proposed by De Laurentiis are expected to cause wide discussions and debates among the public in the near future. Source: One.uz
