1. The fundamental reason why Italy missed the World Cup was that Ventura was chosen as the head coach. If you change to another coach, you will basically enter the World Cup. If Kong Di coached, it would be possible to win the World Cup.
Because the current strategic measures of the Italian team are not in place, and there are more players to be replaced; In recent years, the state of Italy has been declining, and talents have withered, and the appearance rate of main players is relatively low.
2. Because Italy lost to North Macedonia in the semi-final of Group C of the 2022 World Cup European qualifiers, it failed to advance to the play-off finals, and completely missed the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Many people subconsciously think that North Macedonia is a fishing team, which shows that North Macedonia lags far behind Italy in football strength. In fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon.
In recent years, the football strength of Macedonia has been greatly improved, at least in the lineup. Although it is still not as good as Italy, the lineup is stronger than Italy and the defensive end is doing well, so it is not impossible for North Macedonia to win Italy.
Of course, North Macedonia, which advanced to the play-offs, also lost to Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo in the final. In the end, Portugal qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 finals, while the Italian men's soccer team missed the World Cup finals twice in a row.
Italy's blue jersey
Because the Italian national team uses blue to pay tribute to the sky and the sea around the boots (the geographical shape of the Apennine Peninsula), including the Mediterranean Sea. The second story is 19 1 1 Italy vs Hungary. Italians wore white clothes at first. Because of the heavy snow, they were forced to wear blue uniforms in order to make the players on the field easier to identify.
So the Italian national team wore blue for the first time in 19 1 1 year 1 year, in Milan's Civic Arena.
