- The problem is not in him. Spalletti said that everything will change from now on, and he will focus more on the youth. I have no doubt that he will do so.

You need to let good young players play. I released Pirlo two days after he turned 16. The period from 17 to 21 years is the most delicate: it is the time when a footballer either grows, explodes and becomes a champion or disappears. Young people face mature players against whom they do not yet have the necessary skills.

However, it doesn't take many years for a talent to show itself. Someone just has to take responsibility," Mircea Lucescu told Tuttosport.
