The project of the Italian football clubs: to buy a foreigner

Italy is not a country for young people also in that particular job field that is football. According to the data of the Association of Italian football player in the 1999-2000 season were registered  249 foreigners;  in 2002-2003, 535;  in 2007-2008, 846 (percentage in Premier League of foreigners /Italian 38.72%); in 2009-2010, 1032 (in percentage foreigners/Italian 40.24%); in 2011-2012, 47.82%; in 2012-2013, 50.26%, for a total in Premier League of 774 players. Therefore for the first time more foreigners than Italians. In essence among those who, after many selections, could play in Premier League only one out of two will make that happens, because the excluded will be replaced by a foreigner. It ‘s another example of a nation that does not invest in young people and that for these choices is likely to fail. In fact, it can be said with certainty that from school, university to soccer there are not investments in human, financial and organizational resources to reverse this trend. What psychological effect determines this culture: year after year it shows that there are insuperable limits, that professional competence and determination to succeed are not decisive, and that you will be chosen on the basis of financial decisions that have nothing to do with the sport success. This is so true that in the last years the club well padded of foreigners have not reached any success in the European Cups.
