The problem with IT clubs and teams is quite simple.
The talent just ain't there. None of the current IT midfielders and attackers are WC barring De Rossi and Rossi (both are boarderline WC). Pirlo does not count since the last time he showed WC consistency was almost three years ago, same goes for Cassano. The rest are good solid players but none of them are at the level of Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Hernanes, Sneijder, Bastian...not to mention the likes of Messi, Ibra, Pato, CR7, Villa and others.
Buffon might not be the best GK in the world but he is still among the top 5, while Chellini is no doubt WC, but there is not a suitable partner to compliment him. Santacroce just disappeared, Bonnucci never finds his confidence since the Juve switch, and Ranchoaania is solid still a level or two away from being WC. Guys like Motta, Crisito, Maggio, Balzetti...just aint that good. Abate certainly got the talents and confidence but he is useless to the NT since he never gets the selection.
