we are very far from the Italy of the golden years Unfortunately the management was very unsuccessful in this respect, very little focus was placed on trying to grow new talents, but even if we look at the current players individually, some are defined as top players. for example Donnarumma, Bastoni, Barella but they are not enough on their own, the difference with the other players is enormous and meant that we had to watch two World Cups from home. at the same time the other nations have invested a lot in young players and have achieved better results than us.
italy should invest much more in young people, even the under 21 national team now has serious problems and in the last European Championship it had to include non-quota players
I think the decline experienced by the Italian National Team also indicates the competitive level of Serie A. We realize that Serie A is also not as competitive as it used to be, this also indirectly contributes to the decline of Italy best talents. In fact, we no longer see defenders who have talents approaching the level of Bonucci and Chiellini in the Italian National Team defense, we also don't find players of the level of Jerginho or Verratti in the midfield, and the same goes for the front line. The Italian National Team looks like they have lost their golden generation, they clearly have to find a solution for this. In the past we saw Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, AS Roma, Lazio players as the mainstays in the Italian National Team. Currently I think only Donnarumma can be considered a world class player in the Italian National Team.
