Markizio: The Italian national team remains in crisis

Former player of the Italy national team Claudio Marchisio is concerned about the current state of the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The Italy national team has failed to qualify for two consecutive World Cups and may miss out on future competitions as well. Marchisio, stating that he has information about youth and children's football, considers the situation in this area to be very alarming.

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.

Thus, serious reforms are necessary for Italian football to reach a new level.
