"The majority of players earn less than € 50,000 gross per year. When you think of players, you never think of this majority who would be in crisis giving up a salary": so Umberto Calcagno, vice president of the Football Association, who spoke at the live Instagram of #casadimarzio.
"We cannot fail to realize what our world is experiencing. We have responsibility for the future, said Calcagno. We must avoid joining a company tomorrow that can guarantee their commitment during the competition."
According to Calcagno "the system of distribution of resources must be reviewed. In other countries we think about different figures and different proportions. I hope this situation will bring everything to balance".
Finally, the AIC number 2 stresses that "the hypothesis of the neutral fields would presuppose infinite withdrawals for the players. They too have families, children. It would become complicated on a psychological level to manage such a situation".
"Regarding the attacks received on the balance sheets, we are absolutely calm. Maximum transparency as always. Those who follow the Football Association know who we are; those who do not follow it, must be informed before listening to external voices".
