Grosso Calls for Raising the Level of Italy's National Team

Former Italian national football team player and 2006 World Cup champion Fabio Grosso commented on the national team's disappointing performance in the match against Norway. "Gli Azzurri" suffered a 4-1 defeat and are now forced to compete in the playoff stage to secure a spot in the World Cup.

This outcome was somewhat anticipated before the match against Norway, but a 4-1 loss is inexcusable — something Grosso clearly understands. "The national team needs fresh blood, young players.

We have to improve the level of the national team. Comparing the current situation to 2006 is pointless.

We need to acknowledge the shortcomings and work on them," Grosso emphasized in an interview with pianetamilan.it. It is worth noting that the Italian national team last won the World Cup in 2006.
