WHERE HAS THE ART OF ITALIAN DEFENDING GONE??

"During the 1980s and 90s, Italian defences were world-renowned as the toughest of the lot.
The word catenaccio became known in other languages and jokes about boring Italian teams winning 1-0 were all the rage.
The likes of Franco Baresi, Alessandro Costacurta and Paolo Maldini were hailed while Fabio Cannavaro was a rare defender to win the Ballon d’Or and FIFA world player after his stunning defensive displays helped Italy lift the 2006 World Cup.
Now everything has changed." In the half of this season there are more goals scored in Serie A than in Premiership. Why being sad?? That's great, more goals mean more joy, no?????
