Italy has always been a traditional strong team in the world football, but in recent years, the degree of talent decline in Italy is also obvious to the naked eye, especially his recent record in Italy is complicated. Although he won the European Cup in 2021, the team was eliminated from two World Cup qualifiers, and failed to qualify for the 2010 and 14 World Cups. Even the current coach of Italy, Mancini, once said, "Now Italian children don’t play football, and I can’t see young people playing football in the streets."

On March 18th, Reggit was selected into the Italian national team list. On March 24th, he made his debut in the European Cup and scored his first goal in the national team. In the second round, Reggit scored in a row, and his performances of two goals attracted Italian teams. Reggit, although he is an Italian shirt, can’t speak Italian, and he has no experience in European teams, but his grandfather was an Italian immigrant, so he has Italian descent.
Reggie’s excellent performance gave coach Mancini a taste of sweetness. It is also planned to naturalize 10 young Argentine players: 22-year-old riverbed striker beltran, 21-year-old Boca defender valentini, 24-year-old Salzburg midfielder Capaldo, 22-year-old Ranus striker Dehlavi and 17-year-old sarsfield striker Prestianni, 22-year-old independent competitive midfielder Pozo, 19-year-old Rosario central midfielder infantino, 21-year-old Newell boy midfielder Foza, 23-year-old Newell old boy striker Gianni and 19-year-
