Alberto Zaccheroni says Serie A is back to how it was in the 1970s and 1980s.
The current crisis in Italian football has been the cause of a great deal of debate, and the veteran tactician Now sees a way out, In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sports
If there is no money, we must start again from the local pitches, from the day-to-day work, cultivating our youth properly,
We must buy slowly and less frequently from abroad
Teams buy alot of foreign players in a great rush without studying them or knowing their strengths or weakness, since the top players outside are beyond our economical means now
we know that we were never short of talent, and we never will be. In this area we’re still the best, so let’s develop what we’ve got, let’s build an infrastructure and a good business, and you’ll see as in england or germany, investors will come rushing.
If we work properly, money will come eventually, In Germany, for 15 years the best Coaches focused on the youth teams.
We have gone back to the 70s and the 80s, when the Scudetto was always a two-horse race, In the 90s there were six or seven teams fighting for the scudetto, but that seems like a century ago.
I follow serie a sometimes, but to follow only one Coach: Antonio Conte, His Juventus aimed for intensity, strength, anger, determination and precision, you have to throw all what you got into the mix today to make sure you don’t get drawn back.
Asked about the national team;
I can only say that Conte will try as hard as he can.
