Inter Milan’s National Team Block Recalls Juventus of 1982

Football journalist Paolo Paganini noted in an interview that historically, the Italian national team has achieved significant success when built around a core group of players from a single club. He pointed to the 1982 World Cup victory, where the team heavily relied on Juventus players. According to Paganini, a similar situation is developing today with Inter Milan providing a significant contingent to the national squad. He emphasized the importance of these Inter players being in peak physical and mental condition when joining the national team, suggesting that this strong club representation could be a positive driving force for the entire team.
