They’re top 6 meanwhile Fiorentina regularly fields 6-7 Italians in their starting XI and they’re in relegation zone.
Not many talented italian players, right fabregas. Maybe he shouldnt check the nationality of carnesechi or bernasconi.
Team selection should be based on merit not nationality. These days Italians just aren’t good enough. Our national team might not even qualify for the World Cup a third time in a row.
How is this allowed?
The issue is with our youth development system. There must be a reason if they can find a million good spanish youngsters and not many italian ones…
To show an example: PSG just bought Dro (The million promising spanish midfielder), while Camarda is still at Lecce, despite arguably having been way more successful in his youth career.
And that’s why they’re good lol
There’s like 5 good Italian players in the world so can’t really blame them
this should not be possible, it’s the national league and whats italian in the team?? just the name of the city.
Absolutely BS. Should be a rule to field at least 50% Italians. Milan should too
Me and my friends hate Como
And more: Spanish trainer and indonesian owners
