The senior team already has a group of excellent midfielders while leaving out players like Locatelli and Sensi.
Then the U21 team has our Fagioli and Miretti in a group where they are not even totally the stand outs. Casadei, Ricci, Oristanio, Esposito, etc. While also having Pafundi in the senior squad at 17.
I wonder what made the talent pool so skewed towards midfield. It's so much better than attack at all levels of Italian football.
