Yes, the main problem lies in the football ecosystem, which has not been managed well from the start. During Italy's prime, they had a strong foundation, such as academies, state-of-the-art stadiums, and a domestic league that was among the best in the world. However, over time, the Italian football ecosystem has failed to develop. Many stadiums are old and outdated, while many clubs struggle financially and cannot produce talented young players. Furthermore, a problematic federation has not created a positive environment for Italian football. All of these issues have accumulated and directly impacted the performance of Italian clubs at the european level and the Italian national team itself. If only the Italian federation and clubs had done a better job of maintaining the foundations they built during their glory days, perhaps the problems would not be as complex as they are now.

I actually think there are other problems in competing to create an ecosystem that doesn't reward talent, i don't think its just due to the population
I also think that there are fewer young people who throw themselves into sport
I also think that in other countries hunger and poverty make people dream of football because of the big money, so they put more effort into it.
