It's not that they start 11 italians that's the problem. It's the fact outside of cheillini and marscisio (maybe buffon and matri) are only 2 italians who you could claim are among 11-15 best italians.
There is some good young talent in italy, but they are doing a horrendous job developing. Players like Aquilani, Montolivo were just as good as there german/spanish/english counterparts at u21 level. But they never developed beyond it. Unlike the previous generation of pirlo, gattuso etc.
