Gattuso: Italian talent, but we have to give young people a chance & they need time

Italian national team coach Gattuso watched the quarter-finals of the European Youth Championship between the Italian U21 and the German U21 on the spot and was interviewed before the game.

Gattuso first said: "There are talent in Italy, but we must give young people the opportunity to perform. They need time and make mistakes to learn from experience. Our young players performed very well in the national youth team, but this path must continue, and we cannot stop when the players are 18 or 9 years old. We must do this."

Gattuso continued: "I was the most in the three European Youth Group Team in Italy's U21 teams. What I appreciate is their spirit, sense of belonging, desire to play, and ability to know how to endure pain. You can see that many of these players have played together for many years. "

Finally, Gattuso said: "Germany U21 is a strong opponent, and we hope to perform well and advance." But in the end, the Italian U21 lost 2-3 to Germany U21 in overtime without escorting two people, and failed to advance to the semi-finals of the European Youth Championship.
