The lesson of Gasp, Ranieri & co.: if experience is worth more than algorithms

When knowing how to read and interpret situations is worth more than a cold analysis: the cases of Rome, Atalanta and Lazio

They had almost succeeded in convincing us. To convince us that the world has changed, changed so much, as to subordinate – or rather cancel – the value of experience. Yes, because for years we have heard talk – to announce a revolution – of a youth project. For years we have heard talk – to justify a failure – of a youth project. As if the registry were a passport to success and glory. Now, let’s be clear, young people represent a huge investment and are often a springboard for new ideas. Provided that – just like for the less young ones – they also respect the quality parameter. Qualities that derive from knowledge, which no one will ever be able to replace, for example, with algorithms. Because a cold analysis can help you choose, based on the characteristics, but then those impalpable notions that arise from everyday life also count in football. And everyday life, in the sense of the constant search for improvement, is certainly at the basis of the most significant “news” of this season.
