Luciano Moggi has offered a menacing view of Calcio, claiming it is heading on a downward slope because the top teams are stopping home-grown talent from coming through.
And he has picked out la Nazionale as a visible badge which reflects his beliefs.
"Italian football leaves a lot to be desired and the national team is the emblem of this theory because football is in decline and there are no youngsters at the levels of the situation," Moggi told Radio Crc.
"Napoli, Inter and Milan are excellent teams, but they don't have the players for the national team because the Milanese clubs have more foreigners, and even at Napoli the best players are not Italian."
Despite promulgating his concerns for the future of Calcio, Moggi believes Milan will win the Scudetto.
"I think Milan have an 80 per cent chance of winning the Scudetto, but Inter and Roma are also playing for it," he said.
