How can be so many great players in Serbia and not in Italy for instance? Italians avoid their players and buy aboard rejects. It's their moto. You can't succeed if you don't get a shot, being loaned out so other club would bench you.
I don't really have anything else to say on the matter.
A lot of people seem to have a complex about all these supposedly fantastically talented young Italians who are being cruelly held back and spoiled by Italian coaches.
You can't make it if you are not afforded opportunities to prove yourself. You need to make mistakes and learn from them. Over-rated foreign imports are preferred to Young Italian players simply because they have had more chances to prove themselves in a lesser league.
How can you succeed if after one bad game you are benched? This ultimately dents a player's confidence. Even Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, said that in order to succeed you must fail, fail, and fail again.

There are few young italian talents that get a chance, most that do are showered praise! Then when they have 1 bad game, or they are dropped, its the end of their young careers or they have a bad attitude...

Santon had some bad games (not one) and he was dropped temporarily and then he got his chances again and he got a starting spot and then he didn't play because he was injured not just because some few bad performances. It shows that if a youngster is good enough he will eventually make it.
On another hand, if one is always average and has some bad games of course the coach will drop him. It's competition, no matter the age.
Almost one year ago. I remember thinking that he surely can't be benched after this and he's finally shown what an amazing player he is. One year later and he's even in a worse situation.
