Yesterday the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravinaspoke again in a long interview given to Messaggero Veneto, specifying how the only objective for Spalletti’s national team at the moment is to qualify for the next world championship tournament: “It’s a worry of mine – he said – I missed one from president, the one in 2022, even if they also attribute the one before that to me, participating in a World Cup is a showcase for a country, a reason for people to come together.”
On the youth teams, the work done is considered positive: “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 3 -0 the very strong Portugal also in intensity and play. Well, it won’t be long before Italy will return to being a point of reference with the senior national team, will return to the restricted circle of the great World Cups – explained the FIGC number –
Because we have the talents, but it’s sad to see how they are often not used by clubs, I’m thinking of Camarda from Milan. Talent needs opportunities, they give them abroad“, underlined the federal number one on the main emerging Italian talent.
