KARLO ANCELOTTI BRUTAL: This is the reason why Italian football has failed
Brazil's national team coach Carlo Ancelotti said that Italian football has lost its tempo and must again produce quality defensive players, as football is not just about scoring more goals than the opponent.
TL;DR
- Italian football has lost its tempo, both in running and mentally, leading to a lack of intensity.
- The league has lost its defensive solidity, with an overemphasis on tactics harming traditional strengths.
- Italy has failed to produce quality defensive players, and top foreign players are no longer attracted to Serie A.
- The lack of world-class players in Serie A means young Italian players have fewer role models to learn from.
- Ancelotti stresses the importance of a defensive mentality for success in football, not just scoring goals.
