Gabriele Gravina and the categorical imperative of this national team to qualify for the next World Cup. The number one of the FIGC spoke about it today during a long and interesting interview given to ‘Messaggero Veneto’: “It’s a worry of mine. I missed one as president, that of 2022, even if they also attribute the one before. Just participating in a World Cup is a showcase for a country, a reason for people to come together. But the prospects are good, it will be important to do well in the Nations for the ranking and have a better draw in the qualifiers.
“Then in another passage Gravina added: “In the last five years of our governance we have had the best results in the youth teams. From 20 to 19 up to our pride: the Under 17 national team, the symbol of a project. Those boys beat the very strong Portugal 3-0 also in intensity and game. Here, it won’t be long before Italy will return to being a point of reference with the senior national team, they will return to the small circle of the great world cups. Because we have the talents, but it is sad to see how often they are not used by the clubs, I am thinking of Camarda from Milan Talent needs opportunities, they give them abroad.”
