Why do an Italy soccer camp ?
In Italy, soccer is an important tradition, a weekly rendezvous for everyone to watch their local teams battle it out. The biggest players are basically worshipped by their fans, like Maradona at Napoli. When he arrived at Napoli, the city of Naples was in an awful position financially and had no mayor, no structure, no schools, but the people of Naples were overjoyed because their ‘saviour’ had arrived. This is all to say that soccer is sacred in Italy.
Moreover, Italy is a wonderful place to visit. From skiing vacations in the Alps to relaxing holidays on Mediterranean beaches to fascinating cultural vacations in Florence, Italy has something for everyone. Italy has been a cultural capital of the world for thousands of years, ever since the Roman Empire began building cities. The weather changes year round but with good planning, it should be ideal for any vacation activity you were planning on.
Italy, a country of soccer success
Not only does Italy have many successful professional clubs, they are also the second most successful country in World Cup history along with Germany, having won the tournament four times.
Their most recent victory came in 2006, in an extremely dramatic final against France, with Zidane’s infamous headbutt and penalty kick victory.
Italian soccer also emphasizes defense and tactics. Although it is no longer widely used, the system of play called “catenaccio” was created in Italy. This system emphasized a compact and tight back line, with the main goal of preventing dangerous chances.
Italian coaches and clubs are aware of the importance of the defensive aspect in soccer, and it is very common to see Italian players celebrating a slide tackle as a goal.
