MILAN (Reuters) - Italy coach Giampiero Ventura believes that the transfer market should close before the start of the season, he said on Monday. He said it was a contradiction that the transfer window around Europe ended at the end of August when the season was already two or three weeks old. "This is a result of the transfer window still being open, which means you have to live with certain situations."

"If the last time Italy won in Spain was 70 years ago, it's clear that there’s been a problem.
