Saverio Sticchi Damianipresident of Leccespoke at the presentation of the second edition of the FIGC Sports Justice Code: “I have already come to San Siro twice this season, this is the third. At least this time I hope not to leave with a defeat. The main theme is that of the rules, I’m not going to get into controversy, it’s clear that every now and then the little ones get an extra card compared to the big ones. But I’m speaking from a general point of view and I say that we can improve on the rules.
Every year we see that the interpretation changes, because we realize that by applying this practice we end up with distortions. Are we sure that the interpretation is correct? I’ll give you a concrete example.
Step on foot is very fashionable today: we have been told that any step on foot must be punished, but are we sure that the interpretation made upstream is correct and does not distort the game of football? Why can’t we broaden the scope of who can contribute to these assessments? It’s my question, a provocation.”
