These very days, the 2018 FIFA World Cup is being played: all eyes are on one of the most important sporting events on the world stage. And although Italy did not qualify to participate in this major event, we Italians certainly have a good reason to get passionate about the many matches that are being played.
The reason why is very simple: in the various national teams that are competing for the title, there are a lot of champions playing who come precisely from Italian club teams. Names such as Dybala or Higuain (who play for Juventus during the year), for example, or even Fazio (from Roma) and Mertens (who plays for Napoli): it is safe to say that in this World Cup 2018, the best foreign players speak Italian!
I migliori calciatori stranieri che parlano l’italiano: quanti sono?
There are as many as 58 in all, foreign footballers in Italy giving life to this World Cup. But how important is it to speak Italian, especially for people like them who live and work in Italy?
The answer is obvious: so much! Just having to understand yourself with your coach and teammates can make all the difference in terms of competitive performance. For those who play sports and come to our country then, learning Italian can be a winning key on several fronts. And attending a serious Italian school is definitely the best way to go.
