“Italy is paying the consequences of its lack of leaders, technical players and confidence in young people. In Italy, Lamine Yamal and Musiala would surely play in Serie B to gain experience”. These are the words of Jurgen Klinsmann, former glory of German football and Inter and today coach, in an interview given to the Rai.

Words which are not intended to denigrate Lamine Yamal nor Musiala, quite the contrary. Klinsmann thus wanted to underline the lack of confidence placed in young people in Italy, where we often prefer to bet on players recruited abroad rather than on local young people. An observation shared by a lot of people in Italian football since this elimination against Bosnia.
