Boban: “Italian football needs 15 years to get back to the top”

“After Pirlo, Italy no longer had a great talent. Twenty years have passed, Italian talent has been killed in the nurseries. For Italy it takes 10-15 years to return to the top, at the level of England” . Thus the former Milan playmaker Zvonimir Boban, head of Uefa football, spoke to Radio, too sport, on Rai Radio 1. “Then – adds Boban – we must try to build these stadiums which are now essential”.

Boban also takes stock of the championship and the contenders for the Scudetto: “Napoli seem mature, have an extraordinary atmosphere and are aware of their means. They play extraordinary football and are very balanced. Milan have a great character, history and his size matters, but I say that Inter could also return: if Lukaku returns to the one he was two years ago, anything can happen. “

Tomorrow Milan will take the field at Dinamo Zagreb, in the Champions League. Double ex challenge for the former Croatian midfielder. “Milan can win in Zagreb, quality is on their side. Dinamo are tough and will sell their lives dearly: it won’t be an easy match for me either, they are the two teams of my life.” And at what point are Milan in their growth process? “There are players who are worth the Champions League and roles to be reinforced, it depends on the company’s ambitions, on how much you want to invest to get to the top. You have to think big, otherwise it is difficult for Milan to return to what it once was.”
