Unfortunately, the Italian national team doesn't have a squad with the same high quality as the national teams of France, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal. Take Portugal for example; the Portuguese league is inferior to the Italian league (Serie A), but even so, the Portuguese national team's squad is far superior to Italy's.
This happens because the great Serie A teams don't have many Italian players, and Italy hasn't exported many players to other leagues. So, that generation of good players from the past has died, and no more good players have emerged in the present. I sincerely don't expect Italy to achieve great things, especially with the coach they have.
The truth is a little worrying, Italy is a country that I want even my child to go to because its schools are very good, in fact Italy and Spain are for me the best for children's education, however what affects Italy the most is that now children like to be other things, they like video games more, PCs, they want to be influencers, all of that has its cost with the next generation.
It is not only in Italy other countries are facing this same thing children this days really don't want another thing apart from being an influencer and the reason why they want this is because those they are looking up to that are influencers are doing very well for them self and are very rich most of them didn't even go to school so the younger generation see no reason of going to school anymore.
Generally no human on earth love stress and they see school as stress the only way for the government or the society to make things go back the way they where before is to give a very good reward to those who are going to school and studying things that will help the society.
In my country getting a job after going to school is very difficult and that is why young people are now wanting to be influencers because they are making huge amount of money from it.
I really don't know how Italy government treat those who went to school if they are not giving good jobs then I won't plan those who are going into being an influencer.
