The head coach of Uzbekistan's national football team, Fabio Cannavaro, analyzed the current state of Italian football and shared his thoughts on the prevailing issues and their impact on the national team. He noted that, in recent years, there has been a lack of trust in local players, especially young talents, within the Italian league.
According to Cannavaro, this trend is negatively affecting the competitiveness of Italy's national team. He recalled the period before the 2006 FIFA World Cup, when there was intense competition among Italian players in Serie A. That internal rivalry served as a solid foundation for the success of the national team.
The coach also offered a critical perspective on the current training system. In his view, modern training places too much emphasis on teaching tactical discipline, whereas a player's primary strength should be technical skills. Comparing a young player to a building under construction, Cannavaro stressed that the foundation should be technical mastery, not tactics.
He also cited Gian Piero Gasperini's approaches as exemplary, suggesting that such methods could significantly enhance the physical and technical development of young players.
Cannavaro's remarks are being viewed as an important signal, not only for Italian football but also for the football system as a whole. His observations serve as a reminder of the necessity to reconsider priorities in nurturing the younger generation of players.
