Inter, Juve, Lazio and Atalanta out. The last time without Italians beyond the second round in the 2015-16 season. What are the reasons?
It is late at night for Italian football in Europe. The elimination of the Lazio, the last in the race, certifies the moment of crisis of the A league which has deep roots. Eleven years without Champions, the latest success was that ofInter in 2010, in the midst of too many disappointments and broken promises. Worse only the fast between ’69 and ’85, but they were other times, and another football. The eliminations of Atalanta and Lazio were to be put in the budget, no enterprise against armored battleships Real e Bavaria that aim to go all the way. But what is especially worrying is the way the teams go Gasp and Inzaghi they never stood up to comparison, without being able to put the opponents in the slightest difficulty.
Inter even threw in the towel in the group, after a nightmare journey which, however, channeled new energies and stimuli into the championship, dominated in first place. Heavy setback for the you, which at the moment can not even console himself with the championship. Out in the round of 16 for the second consecutive year, against a Porto that he had nothing to lose. He lost, however, the Italian football that observes the English, German and Spanish dominate without being able to keep up, year after year. And it doesn’t get any better in either Europa League, the last to win it was the Parma in ’99, meanwhile the gap with the rest of Europe has increased and not even the foreign-oriented market has brought the hoped-for benefits (see Ronaldo). There was a lack of planning, decisive investments in the youth sector were neglected – almost always – and Italian football gradually lost competitiveness until it disappeared from Europe in the last 10 years.
