Italian football has its greatest art of defense and success of their clubs in Europe and their national team are mainly based on their strong defense. It's their strongest strength but in the past, they had many great attacking players who helped them winning titles.
Recent years, Italy lack of good players in both defense and attacking areas and quality of Serie A and national team fall a lot. Italian clubs must focus and invest more into their academies to get new generations of youth players, who will be foundations for their success in future. They are no longer rich in finance compares to clubs in Spain and England so having good youth academies is only way to succeed and competitive to clubs in La Liga and Premier League.
Yes, and I didn't know that Italy has those problems. I know that in countries like Brazil they have that problem, the players are no longer trained, they don't play like before, the children are only on their phones and there is no longer that desire like before, that is a problem that is becoming global. I think that technology has helped and hurt in a certain way The good thing about countries like Italy is that they have a technique and a style of playing very much their own, as you say, good defense and attack, but the players from before are no longer there, and it is serious that that is lost.
