HOW IS BRAZIL STILL #1 IN THE WORLD

[Paolo_Rossi]

Who says italian clubs dont buy young italian players ????Juventus have bought so many of them including Zanchi,Brighi and Massimiliano Vieri or what about Milan who bought Commandini and Daino .Why is it lazio signed Roberto baronio for 5 years and should be a regular starter for them .Junhinio ,your point is useless ,italian clubs buy more younger italians than any young foreigners .Secondly ,clubs buy only established players ,I doubt that they would risk to pay a heavy amout of money on a young foreigner when they havent proved anything .

Why is it that Italian clubs then would rather give a foreign star a chance to play than a young Italian player. I dont see your point. Your blaming the current state of the Italian national team on some foreigners when if Italian players were better they wouldnt be in this situation.

Junhinio ,if they give a young foreigner a chance is cause they spent a lot of money on him ,look at Juventus ,you actually think they are going to bench Del piero since he is the highest paid player .Secondly ,what makes italian players different than younger foreigners is some come out of nowhere and when given a chance to play ,they become the most wanted player .Look at Verona ,they had so many young players including Brocchi who became a star and because of his performance he was signed by inter ,or what about Luca Mezzano who played also with Verona and now Inter wants to get him back .Who cannot forget Simone Inzaghi who scored 15 goals with piacenze and saved them from relegation and then was signed by Lazio wich in mymind was a bad move cause they have both highly paid players like Salas and Crespo ,the only reason why he aint gonna play much is cause of the money spent of those guys ,but Simone Inzaghi is the player that clubs like Milan,Fiorentina and Parma want .

italian youngers may not develop as quickly as young foreigners but wait till they reach around the age of 24 ,they become great players .Vieri became a known player at the age of 24 ,Totti has proved it at age 23 and now is 24 ,what about Nesta who took over costacurta and is rated as the best defensive defensemen ,Maldini started to peak at about 24 years old .They may developp slower but they become better when they reach close to their mid 20's .

Brazil?No 1?XaXaXa.I don't think so.Anyway.If you are looking forward to seeing a national team playing well watch the games of Greece.I know that my country
isn't famous,because we only have taken part in 1 mundial{1994 USA},but now is our chance to become one of the best teams in Europe.
Maybe some of you are thinking that I am crazy or nationalist,but let me remind you some of our players:Mahlas{Ajax}.He was the first scorer in Europe in 1998.Georgatos{Inter}.Dabizas{Newcastle}.Tsartas{sevilia} and many other players that can make the difference.If you haven't convinced yet,wait till 2/9/2000.Germany vs Greece.

Pablo no player starts in the first side of a major club. All have to work their way up including Italians if their skill is better then they will be picked if they are unsuitable then clubs will go looking for foreigners.

Certainly it would benefit Italian clubs to pick Italians due to EU rules and travel costs plus not being inconviened during qualifiers. But the fact is that there is not enough talent in Italy to satisfy clubs and thus they must attain foreign stars.
