Yesterday, Napoli has been eliminated from Europe League. A few months ago, in the same competition, were eliminated Palermo, Sampdoria and Juventus. In the going of the second round of the Champions League, however, Milan, Inter and Roma have all been defeated at home by Tottenham respectively, Shakhtar Donetsk and Bayern Monaco (pictured). New risks have no Italian team in the top eight in Europe and, above all (races back permitting), they have no Italian teams in European cups.
How did Italian football has fallen so low? What are the reasons for this drop? Because our teams are no longer able to impose itself in the international arena? All questions are asking athletes and journalists in recent days. I follow football but I can not give me a precise explanation for this debacle. If it is a physical issue I think that the others run twice and we have a preparation and a higher return in periods leading up to the challenges that matter. If, however, is a question of mind I think our players are the teams they face, or do not bring the right amount of malice determination in sports and games.
Uefa Ranking nailing us in fourth place, the gap is mathematically hopeless about Germany and what keeps us ahead of France still thin. In two years, the third in the championship will be worth the preliminaries of Champions, the fourth Europe League, the sixth season without a cup. This is a footballing tragedy. We have been overcome even by the 'hated' the Germans.
And to think that until recently were the Italian team to run twice. Foreign teams were scared of us. And above all we were winning. Exactly, we were. Good times
