Serie A half century behind Premier League & Bundesliga - Sarri
Italy failed to reach the World Cup after losing in the playoffs.
boss Maurizio Sarri has claimed that Serie A is half a century behind the Bundesliga and the Premier League after
Italyfailed to qualify for the World Cup.
Azzurri, led by Roberto Mancini, won Euro 2020 but failed to reach the World Cup with a defeat to
Northern Macedoniain the play-offs. This is the second consecutive competition that Italy has failed to reach the World Cup and now Sari has compared the quality of the Italian league with other European leagues.
He said:
"If the national leagues represent a movement, England would be champions of Europe, and champions of the world. But this is no longer the case.
"Our football has some problems that seems obvious to me. But nobody talks about the more serious issues. If you put yourself in front of the TV, you see Bundesliga and Premier League games, and then you see an Italian stadium, you wonder 'where the f*** are we?'
"We are 30, 40, 50 years behind the others. Nobody ever talks about structures. There is a lack of attention to all the details and we have paid for it."
