Italian couples needs to start to pumping out more babies NOW, they need them and the world need them, i dont like to see Italy full of inmigrants which are not italian, that pyramid seem very troublesome for the pension system, so all the pèople who can have a babie please start to have.
And so also italian football can have new footballers.
The birth rate is plummeting in the whole westerner world, not only in Italy. Cost of living is becoming too high, salaries are not high enough, many people think 10 times before having kids because they know they can't give a good life. On the other hand the immigrants don't think like that, they simply come, have 3-4-5 children and ask the government for money. I'm generalizing a but the actual situation is not that different, and that is true for Europe, North America, Australia...
You look at Brazil and the footballers who are currently playing for the Brazilian national team, most of these footballers had a very bad childhood. If you look at the past lives of most footballers, you will see that all these footballers played football barefoot, did not get proper food or did not have the money to train at a good club, but these things did not stop them, instead they have now become the best footballers in the world. The love for football that the Brazilian people have and the dream of becoming a footballer from childhood is not the same as the thinking among young Italian boys, which is why we do not see any young footballers playing for Italy. If this continues, then Italian football will definitely be under threat. I think Italy should run a special campaign to protect football and create a new love for football among young people.
Brazil, and South America in general, always had players coming from a poor childhood, it's no news. What is news is the level of the Brazilian team now is probably at an all time low (like Italy). I don't know if you are one of those Vinicius or Rodrygo fans but, for me, players like them are just very average for Brazil. It has nothing to do with the love for football because I guess Brazilian people still love football and yet their national team is very bad. Right now the star is supposed to be Vinicius, a player that is not even worth Ronaldo's or Ronaldinho's arm (a foot would be too much).
