Nord versus sud, foreigners against Italians, or young against old. And still there free-kick contestthe goalkeeping match, maybe the shootout from half court. Now there A league she put in her head what she wants to do the American”And thinks of regaining appeal with a All Star Game of the balloon. But if in Nba the manifestation works because it has a sequel, a meaning and a tradition ten years, in Italy it would turn into one antics. Our football, which has serious problems, would need to serious solutions: infrastructure and investments in youth, to mention two shortcomings more obvious.
Lately, however, fashion is looking Overseasespecially basketball, to try an Americanization of football. Forgetting that they are two completely different sports, especially from the point of view of spectacularity. It is not a judgment of merit, but an objective fact: in basketball, baskets are scored every minutesin a football match you can see if it goes well 3-4 goals per game. Also for this reason an All Star Game would not make sense: it would become a revival nostalgic of the 90s summer tournaments, a Moretti Beer Trophy broadcast in 4K.
Yet, this is the drama, at the top of Serie A there are those who think that it can really be a solution: “It’s a project that we are looking into.

Ideas relate sorting of the championshipsthe list of 25 with respect to young people participating, the enhancement of Italians in championships primaverauntil to infrastructure. There was also an interesting proposal to concentrate in one week youth finals in one place that also create a moment of aggregation e enhancement of the youth categories ”, explained Casini. These are serious proposals. The problem? It has been talked about for years, then cyclically they end up in a drawer.
