And he was playing for the team who finished bottom of Serie B last season. Just shows what Italy are up against when they meet Spain.

There is talent in this team, but Italian kids get farmed out for their formative years.
Yep, it's a shame that coaches in Italy still don't really trust young players (especially in Serie A). We can only hope things change in the future, need reserve teams, Juventus B etc.

In Spain the league is going through financial disaster, which will only help the national team. In Italy we have started to see a few more young players playing because of similar reasons, but there is still the issue with experience over youth.
