Italy coach Roberto Mancini on
Monday lamented the shortage of Italians playing in Serie A.
"Never (have I seen) so few Italians on the field, it's the
lowest moment, but often the Italians on the bench are better
than the first-choice players in certain clubs," he said at the
Coverciano training centre outside Florence.
"We need them to be playing, especially the youngsters, you
have to be braver.
"Let's hope that over time they get more space".
On Sunday night Mancini said on Italian TV "I've seen many
games but not many Italians on the field, it's a problem".
