Demetrio Albertini slams high number of foreign players in Italy’s youth sides
Italian FA's vice-president unhappy with current state of Calcio
By Stefano Federici
With many still looking for answers following what was Italy’s worst ever showing at a World Cup just over a month ago, FIGC vice-president Demetrio Albertini has blasted the high number of foreign players present in the country's youth leagues.
“There are far too many foreign players plying their trade in Serie B, Lega Pro or the Primavera leagues,” Albertini declared to Repubblica.it.
“They form a stop cap over the growth of our own young players.
“The youth leagues aren’t enough anymore as a means for nurturing home grown talent.
“I think we need ‘B’ sides like in Spain for example. A Juventus or Inter B side could play in the Lega Pro and this would give the boys the chance to play against personnel with much more experience.
“We need to find the means to help the youngsters develop. Should they continue to play alongside those of the same age, the situation is bound to remain as it is.”

After Watching The World Cup, And Merda Win The Treble Without A Single Italian Starter, I Believe For The National Team's Sake & The Growth Of Young Italian Players, Teams Should Have " B " sides. Keeping A System Like Baseball Minor Leagues, Calcio Would Stand A Better Chance Of Keeping Promising Talent & Giving Them A Better Chance Of First Team Play As Well. Instead Of Seeing Them Go To Other Leagues (i.e Federico Macheda... First One That Comes To Mind).
