Paolo Condò has offered a stark analysis of Italy’s recent football collapse, which sees the national team miss its third consecutive World Cup. Condò highlighted how the squad managed to hold a lead until just ten minutes before the final whistle, thanks to a goal ‘gifted’ by the opposition. However, the subsequent expulsion of Bastoni, which Condò described as an amateurish mistake, severely jeopardized the team’s chances and ultimately sealed their fate.
For Condò, this latest setback is a clear indicator of the profound crisis gripping Italian football. He argues that it underscores the urgent and undeniable necessity for a complete structural overhaul. The pundit firmly believes that Italian football must embark on a journey of total renewal, starting from entirely new foundations to cultivate a more robust and sustainable future for the sport in the country.
