“Cara Serie A I’m writing to you”: at the end of the year we always look in the mirror dissatisfied and promise ourselves to be more goodmore belli and more good. Maybe it also applies to Serie A: here it is little letter Of good intentions that the Italian football it should be written for the coming year.
In 2026 we will see a exciting championship and fought untillast daywhich can involve the fans, keep the attendance at the stadium and the listen on TVrelaunching the image of Italian football at home and in the world. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen for real.
In 2026 (and this is much more difficult) we will still be protagonists in Europa: but the finals of Champions dell’Inter they were aanomaly that perhaps we didn’t fully appreciate. There are more and more of us marginal internationally and the risk of meet us outside in a few weeks it will be concrete. Satisfaction could come from Europa o Conference Leaguebut let’s remember that they are Serie B cups.
From 2026 we will start making a more modern footballbecause this is how a movement is judged, much more than a victory or defeat: high paceenhance the basic technique even at the expense of a little tacticsspace for youngsustainable budgets and not just supported by TV rights which have now deflated. This is the direction to follow, while we do the opposite.
In 2026, Serie A will produce i young of which the national he needs. In the meantime, however, the only real novelty of the championship was Lecture (and in fact perhaps he will soon go elsewhere). Pio Esposito it’s not hurting but it has found little space, Camarda even less. And we still can’t see a shadow of the “ten” that we’ve been missing for a couple of decades.
In 2026 we will have some arbitrage decent: not perfect, because making mistakes is human and also the referees on the field or at Our I am. There are certain errors bordering on bad faith lack of uniformitythe lack of transparency, to no longer be acceptable. Like the arrogance of designator Rocchione of the main ones artificers of the refereeing debacle, which however remains untouchable also thanks to the usual palace maneuvers.
2026 will probably be the year of sports justice reformeven more so if the Court of Justice of the European Union rules in favor of the appeal Andrea Agnelli. Regardless of what the girl says judgment and from the measures that will be taken, the important thing is that sporting justice is removed from the check of the Federations, and stop being the truncheon of political power and federal presidents.
2026 is also thestadium year. It will have to be, because by next October we will have to communicate to Uefa i five facilities for the European Championships 2032projects already approved, financed and ready for construction immediately, under penalty of revocation of the event. It’s a shame that the commissioner appointed by the government was still months ago there is no trace. And what from Milano a Firenze a Roma all the most important projects are still an unknown.
In 2026 we will finally get rid of Gravina and all the awkwardness clique who accompanies him and who has controlled Italian football in recent years. Unfortunately this wish is directly linked to the next one.
Yes, because the 2026 it should also and above all be the year of return of Italy ai World Cup. March playoffs vs Northern Ireland and the winner of Wales-Bosnia they truly represent a crossroads for the whole movement: even if it is only a question of two gamestheir result goes beyond all the dynamics, because if this year passed in an instant, how important it becomes that in this instant, in this World Cup, Italy is also there. But these are just good resolutions. In a year we will still find ourselves here with the old Serie A. Maybe Italy will be out of the World Cup again and certainly the usual ones dinosaurs in power.
