In the latest episode of "Viva El Futbol", Cassano emphasized that the level of the Italian national team is not outstanding.

Cassano said: "Wales scares Italy, and Sweden also scares people. Italy was eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia in the play-offs. Everyone once said that Norway was poor, but today it is better than Italy. I can't see where Italy is competitive. When we sent Buongiorno, Bastoni, Barella and Tonali, it was not strong enough for me, they are not national "In terms of offense, although I have a good impression of these boys, like Retgui and Keane, when we were playing in the national team, sometimes you (referring to Montella) would not be called up. In Spain, a genius emerged every 15 minutes, as did France and England. Only in Italy was it so difficult."
