ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “In this phase, there is a need for an active time in which those solutions are put in place to address the problems that the system has failed to solve. I hope there are conditions for a Commissioner who will give substance to this time, allowing the Federation to go towards new elections. If we were only aiming at the election, we wouldn’t solve any problems. The commissioner is a great opportunity, a figure that comes from the world of football and that possibly did not compromise with a system that closed its cycle.” This was said by the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, in Rtl 102.5, talking about the future of the Federcalcio after the third definitive exclusion of the blues, in the light of the possible resignation of President Figc Gabriele Gravina.
“We must treasure defeat, if we do not, it would be an even more serious defeat. We hope that something will happen in the day and a new period will begin. I hope it starts with young people and young people. There are all conditions to reason around a table with the components, have a period of decantation.”.
“If we think only of the federal elections, in the case of resignation of President Gravina, we will miss an opportunity,” said Abodi on a day when a meeting of the federal president with the members at Via Allegri is planned.
And on Gattuso: “I think he did his best, I thanked him, staff and players. Then you stop and the football system must assess how to continue. Respect for him alone.”.
“The words of Gravina on amateur sports? What is missing is an assumption of responsibility. There are times when the head of an organization fully responds. The slide on other sports I hope has been the result only of a lack of clarity that in certain circumstances is human that is determined”. For Abodi “the respect that must be brought to the athletes and athletes of all disciplines we cannot represent it only during the Olympics and Paralympics. They are athletes who put their hearts every day with the sole goal of bringing honour to Italy”
