_Observation_ Are there any talents in Italy_

Everything is for the better development of the project, let Kunhe life bring you the reward of the right back.

Not surprisingly, after Spalletti’s “will not resign” statement on the night of the exit. The next day, Italian Football Association President Gravina confirmed Spalletti’s retention at a press conference and indirectly announced that he would not leave. “Spalletti has won our trust, he needs to continue to work, we need patience.” We have to consider launching a talent training policy because there is talent and the youth national team has proved it. “

In addition to some mandarin, the last paragraph throws an answer: “there are talents in Italy.” This actually raises a huge question: “is there really talent in Italy?” The only one who continues to show a high level of real talent is Donaluma, which should be the consensus of all Italian fans who watched the European Cup. Inter double stars Varela and Bastogi are often not in their usual position. Carafioli still has many deficiencies. Spalletti’s team is not even as talented as Switzerland. Where is Italy’s genius?

Devoid of the genius of all

This is in sharp contrast to England, and although the national team is equally poor in the European Cup, the discussion is based on recognition of “talent”. In Italy, whether many players can play is closely related to the use of them by future coaches, as well as the influence of their clubs and the national football system as a whole.

The question of Italian youth training is simple and simple, and there is only one question to answer: do you believe that 16-year-old Camarda will be the starting striker of the Italian national team in the World Cup two years later? People are not even confident that Italy can make it to the World Cup finals. The Italian U17 represented by Camarda is what Gravina calls the “youth national team”. The lads have just won the U17 European Youth Championship in a very convincing way, but does it mean that there is a successor in Italy? Apparently not.

As a matter of fact, Italy has never been short of so-called “talented players”. In contrast to Camarda, 25-year-old Scamaka and 23-year-old Pellegri, which is not a talented teenager who was once born out of thin air, but what is the development today? As you can see from the performance of Scarmaka in this European Cup, there is a good performance for Albania, and the ability to pull back and play the ball has improved, but it does not show enough talent, and it has even become “devoid of all people”. Pellegri is even more distressing. After a young injury, minor injuries have never been broken, and the team can not guarantee continuous appearance in Serie A.

With such an analysis, things seem to get complicated again: is it because the players don’t have enough talent, or do they encounter obstacles in their adult development? With the closest adult echelon U21 as a reference, the new issue of the list. The only main players in Serie A this season are Fiorentina’s right-back Kajode, Salenitana’s centre-back Pilola, Atalanta’s left-winger Rugery and Empoli’s midfielder Fazini. Other main players are Rome’s Bovic and Bardhan, Bologna’s Fabian, Juventus’s Miretti and Cagliari’s Oristanio (including the right-age player Calafioli). Without the author’s introduction, the fans themselves know that none of these people are “talented players”, and their future development will not be much different from that of today’s people.

A genius without soil.

Perhaps Italy lacks enough support for truly top-notch young players, and due to economic constraints, more and more Italian players have been bought by Premiership teams after showing talent. Such as Tottenham’s left wing Udoji, Leeds winger Nionto and Chelsea’s Casadei. The example of Casadei is typical, because Inter Milan need to settle accounts, he was sold to Chelsea in 2022 for a total price of 20 million euros. By current standards, Casadei is definitely a genius. He is the best player and top scorer in the World Youth Championships. Before winning double honors, there are no shortage of superstars like Messi and Aguero, but this can only be used as a reference.

Because Casadei’s development has stalled in the last two years, Chelsea have not made a special development plan for him, but have seen him lease to any team at will. The most ridiculous thing is that in the second half of the season, Chelsea were not satisfied with his playing time for Championship team Leicester City, so they recalled him to the team, only to make Casaday appear in 11 Premiership games. It is indeed an appearance, because the total appearance time of these 11 games is only 71 minutes, that is to say, an average of 7 minutes per game, an incredible number. If you can only get such a chance to play, no matter how talented players can play.

The same problem is facing AC Milan. Camarda seems to have enough talent, but he is still an important part of the second team plan for the new season, which means he will mainly deal with the Serie C tournament, which is the main training ground for the U21 members of the national team. The 16-year-old Yamal is playing in the Champions League and the European Cup, and Camarda is about to play in Serie C. the gap is very obvious.

This is not only a problem that a club in AC Milan has to face, but a common problem in Serie A. Has Milan ever considered letting Camarda skip Serie C and locate the main Serie A striker? Maybe not yet. When exactly was that? Does the club have the courage to tolerate his mistakes in order to train him? Two years later, whether the 18-year-old Camarda is playing in the World Cup, Serie An or Serie C is an important weather vane.
