Zbigniew Boniekvice president of UEFAspoke to the microphones of Radio Kiss Kiss Naplestalking about issues relating to Serie A and especially to the Neapolitans: “Cup matches have nothing to do with the championship, professionals cannot feel tired due to the Champions League, in fact European teams like Manchester City or Real or PSG win the championship is the same. I like Napoli very much this year because I like Conte, I know him and I know how he works. For me, Inter and Napoli are ahead, with Juventus slightly behind because they still have a lot of work to do Six days is difficult, even if Juventus hasn’t conceded a goal yet and this is very important. Napoli also have a good defense, but they have a center forward who always makes the difference in Italy, even if in terms of his athletic condition he sometimes struggles. because he loves ‘carbonara’ (laughs, ed.)”.
Do you think there is too much playing in football today?
“The problem of tiredness is simply mental, footballers can’t say that in three days they can’t do 12 km per match. Throughout Europe we live the life of a footballer and above all we have to train in a professional manner. Clubs are increasing matches because they have to pay the players more, thus increasing profits.”
