Uzbekistan national team head coach Fabio Cannavaro shared his thoughts on the current problems in Italian football.
Idman.Biz reports that Cannavaro won the World Cup with the Italian national team as a player in 2006. In the same year, he won the "Golden Ball".
"Few Italians, even fewer young players, are used in games. All this, in turn, affects the national team and the coaches responsible for calling up the players. 20 years before winning the 2006 World Cup, we had players who created incredible national teams, and 20 years later we moved on to teams that made us say "Divine!".
Does this necessitate a cultural revolution in the development of young football players? Yes, because tactics are overvalued. A young person entering football is like a house that needs to be built: the foundation should not be tactics, but technique. The coaches I learned from until I was 20 told me that I should follow the opponent even in the toilet... Gasperini's methods can develop young players better," - Tuttosport quotes Cannavaro.
