Coach Maurizi, is still obvious the gap between most important teams of first level and the other?

"Yes, I think it is still obvious, even if between the first and second level I would insert an intermediate level composed from Argentine, Portugal and Ukraine. For the future, I think this gap will be eliminate. By now the futsal-market has been internationalized. Players of various nationality play in two main championships (Italian and Spanish)".

Has it carried a levelling under the tactical aspect?

"Surely, but only for the club; talking about National teams, the only Italy, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay have had benefits from this situation".

Some debutant National teams have entrusted foreign coaches: in your opinion, could it limit the increase of the futsal "local school"?

"No, the same system has been chosen in other sports too: entrusting themselves to competent foreign coaches, the debutant National teams riduce the technical-tactical gap with the other national".

In this World Cup we have seen a bad use of the "movement goalkeeper", perhaps because this solution is little trained... What do you think about it?

"I agree, but for example Italy succeed in making a good use of the "movement goalkeeper"".

In this first period of World Cup, the athletic form has left much to be desired...

"I think so, perhaps only the players who play in the Spanish and Italian championship are to the maximum of the physical form in this moment".

Could World Cup regulation that previews team of low technical level be modified?

"No, I think all the continents must be represented in World Cup, increasing the participation of other National teams too".
