How to build a path to glory for Italy. Once again.

By Mirko Corli, writing from Torino

As I told you all during the past few weeks, Italy’s main problem was the coach. Now, thanks to him we are out of the World Cup, but we are relieved thinking that he left the job: no more arrogance on the bench, we can now start thinking about football. So, how to rebuild a national team after what just happened?

The key move is to get in young talented players and leave out the players that already served the nation but now are only chained-balls to the development of the team.

Here’s a possible list with the birth year of the players between parenthesis:

Keepers: Buffon (78), Sirigu (87), Marchetti (83)

Defenders: Chiellini (84), Bonucci (87), Bocchetti (86), Ranocchia (88), Cassani (83), Maggio (82), Criscito (86), Santon (90)

Midfielders: De rossi (82), Marchisio (86), Montolivo (84), Palombo (81), Poli (88) Strikers: Rossi (87), Pazzini (84), Gilardino (82), Quagliarella (83), Balotelli (90), Cassano (82)

With these players, we will have the ability to play in a few different ways.
