Massimiliano Allegri believes too much emphasis on tactics is holding back Italian football.
The Juventus Coach is releasing an app today to help young coaches, and was asked at the launch event about the perceived lack of talent available to the Azzurri.
“They say we’re lacking players in Italy,” Allegri told reporters at the event in Milan.
“But we’re a nation which has won for World Cups. There have always been players in Italy, and there will be again.

“We need to get back to working more with individuals, and less on tactics and shapes. Today we have youngsters who are like battery hens, and that’s not good for football.
“You have to teach young people to think and to have ambitions without taking away their creativity and inventiveness.”
