On the sidelines of the “Giffoni Film Festival”, the Minister of Sport Andrea Abodi spoke to the microphones of Sky Sports: “I am convinced that these will be months of intense work to overcome the conflicts – he began -. The turning point is the Mulé amendment that does not allow us to go back, the representations are only the beginning of the reforms, then we need to talk about other things: reforms of the championships where necessary and of the youth sectors.
I think that the fans want a competitive situation and there is no doubt that this has happened, seeing the successes of Italian teams in Europe like that of Atalanta. Then there are pathological factors such as indebtedness and quarrelsomeness and we need to recover a national team given that we went out in a dishonorable way at the European Championships and the fans still want to understand what happened.
On Monday there will be an important council to decide on the postponement of the elections and to dedicate November 4 to a statutory assembly to begin the reforms. I hope that on Monday everyone will be inspired – Minister Abodi concluded – knowing that the engine of the football system, which is Serie A, has made requests that must be accepted in the right measure. The government will do its part to improve”.
