There were some ups and downs in Cesare Casadei’s life. chelsea He has now been criticized for his behavior towards Italians.

The midfielder joined the Blues in 2022 and had successive loan spells at Leicester City and Reading.

Despite playing under Enzo Maresca at Leicester, he did not fare well under the Italian for the Blues.

This led to his departure from Chelsea in January 2025, as he joined Torino on a permanent deal. Things have been better for him in Serie A and he has scored four goals this season.

sports witness Casadei could be in line to return to England, with interest from West Ham and Everton.

However, there is still an Italian perception that he moved to England – and especially Chelsea – too early.

D’Aversa targets Chelsea

Torino manager Roberto D’Aversa spoke to Sky Italia about the midfielder, who played against Pisa on Sunday.

The Italian pointed out that Casadei is still inconsistent and his Chelsea spell is one reason.

He said- Via fcinter1908: : “Cesare Casadei is a strong midfielder, he can get all the headers, but he is also someone who knows how to play football.

“He needs to find continuity first of all. He paid for an important move, to Chelsea, where he did not play, and he missed playing in a team where you can grow.”

D’Aversa used this argument to say that Italian football should be able to retain youth. Failure to do so hinders their development.

“Until the culture changes, coaches who develop young players won’t be highlighted, but coaches who win will be questioned if they don’t. Young players need time.

“They should be allowed to grow and make mistakes.

“I was lucky enough to train Kulusevski, who was coming out of Atalanta Primavera, and I was lucky enough to train Bastoni.

“They are young but they are strong. But if we don’t change the culture in Italy, it is difficult to muster the courage to let young players play.”

Chelsea isn’t the only problem

It’s fair to say that the Blues probably never had any concrete plans for Casadei.

was signed for €15m but never burst onto the scene despite impressing at the U20s World Cup in 2023.

At the same time, Italian football has its own problems. That’s why Casadei saw Stamford Bridge as a good idea for his development.

Serie A clubs generally do not have a reliable youth setup. Due to the financial situation of the game in Italy, they are more than happy to sell those players for capital gains.

That’s what Inter Milan did to Casadei, hindering his development.

That’s why D’Aversa is probably right in his judgment that the problem in this case goes beyond Chelsea.

The Italian media have found themselves in the line of fire for helping to embarrass Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario this week.

La Gazzetta dello Sport Report on the Tottenham goalkeeper today after an incident on social media went viral for the wrong reasons.

The Tottenham goalkeeper was seen celebrating with his Italy teammates in front of the TV this week as they watched Wales lose to Bosnia on penalties in the World Cup play-off.

Italy took a wrong step

According to the Gazzetta report, the Italian team celebrated the elimination of the ‘favourite Welsh’.

RAI cameras were watching them, filming the reactions of the Tottenham goalkeeper and others in the player’s lounge. They were present in public due to their families being at the game.

This incident was particularly disliked in Bosnia. He saw this reaction as arrogance on the part of Italians.

According to Gazzetta, the issue risked becoming a ‘scandal’ but has mostly turned into ‘nonsense’.

Italy and their players are trying to play it down ahead of the game in Bosnia. It is likely to be ‘the most challenging in recent memory’ for Italians.

RAI in the firing line

Vicario and his associates did not help even a bit. But according to Fabio Ravazzani, director of Tellalombardia, it is a matter of opinion.

Instead of condemning the Tottenham goalkeeper and his teammates, he questioned what Italian TV stations were doing.

“The (serious) mistake was to steal these images and circulate them as if we were on Big Brother,” Tutto Juve reports him as saying.

“That’s the thing. The pictures of the celebration, filmed without his knowledge and broadcast after being recorded, certainly hindered Bosnia’s visit. It was RAI’s own goal to broadcast them.”

The pressure is now on Italy, who face a big and tough game in Bosnia, against a team and crowd they have only helped to inspire. Luckily for Vicario, the questions being asked are why someone knows this rather than why they did it.
