The role that the teams of the Bundeslega and the German U-20 system have had on this team cannot be overlooked. If teams such as Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen did not turn to young players domestically this German team does not have a shot at succeeding at this level this season.
England, Italy, and the same will probably happen with Spain in the future, have risked the development of their own young players to be seen as one of the top leagues in the world, and to have strong teams in the Champions league, but now they are paying for it on the National team level.

To be totally honest, the Italians dont have a choice. They've squeezed every ounce and more than they could get out of their vets, they might be going to the wrong direction again. Its got to be a good mix, not just a bunch of kids.
