Gab Marcotti

Yes.

Who did really well, yeah.

Who came on.

He's had a tremendous season at Cagliari.

He's on loan from Atalanta.

He's like 21, I think.

Possibly even 22.

He's another guy who, in a normal country, would be starting at 18.

Absolutely.

Now, I want to detour a little bit to... You mentioned this when we were both on the UFC show during the post-mortem.

You made the point about how other leagues kind of cope with this.

And I think every league kind of has its own story.

Yeah, sure.

in england there's a blockage as well because the top teams are so good yeah but in england they also spend a ton of money on academies yeah i think far more than anybody else yeah um broadly speaking uh in france you have a situation where you said it's a feeder league yeah so people do well and they move on you could make this point about portugal as well yeah so the netherlands belgium even yeah so there's constant openings yeah um and opportunities for players

In Italy, that tends not to happen.

So often we see people rewarded with long contracts.

Obviously, some Italian players go abroad more than in the past.

But it's still a very, very small number.

You know, we're seeing some.

We saw Mane, Reggiani, Borussia Dortmund.
