Gasperini blames foreign players - July-30-10

Genoa Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has blamed foreign players for Italy's problems at the World Cup in South Africa.

The FIGC recently reduced the number of non-EU players Italian teams can register per season from one to two.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Gasperini said: “We keep filling teams with foreigners who are often useless.

“By now, even the academies are full of them. If we carry on like this, Italy will get even worse results than the actual ones.

“But I have confidence in Prandelli. He knows how important it is to work on the academies.

“The economic factor is predominant over the technical side of things. No one makes decisions based principally on technical necessities and the balance of the team.

“On too many occasions the players signed are those offered by agents, who represent a financial opportunity to the presidents, and not those that the team actually needs.”
