Some precisions

These figures must also be qualified for several reasons:

On the Italian side, 4 out of 5 players in the top 100 are from Argentina. This is the case of Facundo Dominguez, originally from Mar del Plata, who caused so many difficulties for France during the last European Championships in Sardinia. Aris Patiniotis, also born in Mar del Plata, followed the same path as Facundo, as did Denis Tomas Perino (53rd) from Córdoba in Argentina and Emiliano Martin Iriart from Lobería. Only Marco Cassetta, 100th player in the world, was actually born in Italy (in Torino).

The same goes for Portugal, which has only one representative: Antonio Luque. However, Antonio is also a player from Jaén in Spain.

As for Brazil, we included Pablo Lima in the statistics because he is still in the world rankings, but he retired internationally last year.
