The rest of the interview
In the interview, Raven he also spoke to Spalletti, who referred to the lack of intensity on the pitch:
His [Spalletti] he talked about a lack of intensity. But who is supposed to give the team intensity? Six years ago Conte, who also had people who played backwards, showed us something different.
Unlike others, I don’t want to blame anyone, it doesn’t interest me and it doesn’t lead to anything good.
In football, as in life, mistakes are made and those who make mistakes must not blame others, but take responsibility for the mistake. And eventually, if they deem it appropriate, apologize.
He then returns to the topic of youth, reiterating that the Lecce he has three Primavera players and five Italian players on the pitch, referring to the market system:
Lecce in Serie A has three players who come from the Primavera, and they are three starters. Falcone, Baschirotto, Piccoli, Gallo and Sansone are Italian.
Lecce can’t afford Italians because of the excessive costs. I have to defend our work, the company, the territory. Do we want to talk about local talents?
The big clubs come here and raid. The aridity of our football does not come from the policies of Lecce, but from those of the Football Federation and the League, of the clubs. And not from yesterday.
It stems from the lack of facilities, fields, training centers and the unpreparedness of youth sector coaches.
There is also a lack of will on the part of the football federation to impose percentages of revenues to be allocated to the training of young people.
