Union of footballers arises. Gravina at C: hymn to the game (ANSA)


     The championship should start again, whether on 13 or 20 June the summit - announced as definitive - between football and Minister Spadafora will say it next week. What is certain is that the path always remains obstacles, between footballers unhappy with the treatment and clubs perplexed on the formulas to be adopted in case of a stop.
    Urban Cairo is cold on the playoff-playout hypothesis. However, the AIC thinks a little about the big voice: "They ask us to come back on the pitch and allow a salary in six months" the message at the end of the union directive that rejects the new federal resolutions for the registration terms , judging them "inadmissible". "In essence, the companies could pay only for the month of May at the end of August and obtain registration for the next championship" underlines the union led by Damiano Tommasi, who underlines the need for "collective agreements". "There is an exceptional situation for the coronavirus, and it is thought to solve it with the usual logic: I try to unload the problem on the other, if possible also to screw it. This is what worries me, and I would say not only in the football "Tommasi says.
    The AIC denounces the concrete possibility of making a championship final at risk of contagion Covid with only one salary in six months: it would be the combined result of the League's stop to salaries (from 2 to 4 months) and the new rules on enrollments to the next championship launched by the FIGC, which exclude any months of litigation (March and April) from the criteria, oblige the balance until 31 May and fix the three summer months after registrations (16 October). Result, says the union, A clubs that have collected 80 percent of the TV rights and with the recovery expect the remaining 20, download everything on the players. And if the protest is unpopular for the top and middle salaries of A, the union adds, different music is for B and the Lega Pro, where wages under 50,000 gross are two thousand.
    The federal minimums (35 thousand euros) are however guaranteed by the solidarity fund, they point out in Figc. On the other hand, in the past two years only one penalty point has been imposed for non-salary payments. And there is also excitement in Serie C, on whose championship the word end has not been written. As clubs would have liked: the message from the federation is clear, the result must be decided on the field with the playoffs. Moreover, the companies received the money "with a specific development plan", and a series of contributions for the category. The FIGC president, Gabriele Gravina, wrote to the Lega Pro clubs that "the resolution adopted is a hymn to the game". The "desire to compete on the field, to play and compete regularly" must be combined with the "protection of the health of all the protagonists" says Gravina.
    underlining that the resumption of the C championship will take place "only if in the coming weeks the health protocols become fully applicable also in Lega Pro". "The recovery is impossible" say the doctors of C.
    Waiting to understand when there will be the new whistle for the beginning of the top flight, among the companies who in the past had pushed to bring the curtain down of the season, in fact does not change their mind. "I voted for the recovery but only because I have adapted to the wishes of the majority and it seems that we are really sharing, on 13 or 20 June. But I have many doubts ..." insists the president of Turin, Urbano Cairo - The players fear to get hurt, they train slowly, if we end August 20 between holidays and new preparation we cannot start again before October and in June there are the Europeans ". And then there is the chapter playoff-playout: the possible change of format advanced by the FIGC does not unleash enthusiasm. "If you can't play the championship you can't even play-off and play-out - adds Cairo - Without considering that there would be the need to change the rules in the race, I also find this very complicated "The change in the race, given the exceptional nature of the situation, is there: the fears concern the real recovery, the application of the protocol and the modalities when we will return to play. The Serie A would be equipping itself with its own rules for shooting between bans of protest with the referee and abolition of group photos. A week to know the restart date and still many knots to untie.
