Regarding the national team there are 0% chances for Italy to even think about winning the World Cup. And I'm Italian.
I have not followed the U15 and U16 national teams, but i think that if there is talent there they can use those kids, for me those kids are very good and they are ready to gain experience at a professional level, Italy's forward line is a little higher, Daniel Maldini is a player who has a legacy behind him, i don't know to what extent he is good and can take Italy far, Totrti's son gave up football because of the pressure, so it's difficult because now the kids think about other things, it's difficult, but Serie A is going up a level and that says a lot.
Unfortunately, as an Italian, i also agree with Ale88, the times when Italy could play good football are really over due to many factors, i see kids who play more with their cell phones than with the ball
in this context we will always get worse
Yet this team has won the World Cup trophy four times. The Italian Football Federation is basically responsible for the bad times of Italian football. When Italy played good football, the Football Federation may not have given much importance to finding the next player, due to which the previous generation played good football, but the current generation is not able to play good football for Italy. If this continues, Italy may be dropped from the list of the best teams for a while.
Those who are working on Italian football should take the matter much more seriously and find good quality and talented players from the field level who can be trained and transformed into better quality players and represented for their team. The Italian Football Federation must do this effort for the good of the team.
As Italian I am extremely pissed off with the current situation but every big team had its bad periods in history, there is not a single team that has been getting results for 50-60 years in a row, it's simply not possible, things change, just like there are golden generations there also are bad generations, it's like a wheel. National teams, clubs, it doesn't matter, it's like that for everyone.
