Explanation:
gripen cada vez más / entren en crisis cada vez más...

Hola Mariana,

"Perdere colpi" es, literalmente "gripar" (cuando un motor se agarrota y empieza a malfuncionar) - en sentido figurado, entrar en crisis, dar frenazos, dar señales de malfuncionamiento...

disagree  Flavio Ferri-Benedetti: Hola Sonia, es que "perdere colpi" en italiano se refiere a "empezar a malfuncionar" -- el fracaso es una consecuencia posterior.

  -> Perder bazas significa perder oportunidades con todo lo que ello implica: notoriedad, impacto, defensores, etc. Creo que en este caso lo que se busca es precisamente reducir las oportunidades (éxito) de dicho sistema.
