On the subject of football's capital gains, "there will be a turning point, and beyond what will be the decision from tomorrow, I hope that the tune will change".
This was stated by Andrea Abodi, Minister of Sport, speaking today in Florence.
According to Abodi, "beyond one or two companies there is a system that needs to be questioned about how to pursue fair play, but also correct competition that includes the principles and jobs for which we are a system with autonomy. The football enjoys some autonomy, so it responds to some principles of sporting loyalty and fairness that have probably been neglected in the past: I would like the supremacy of these values to return".
The minister underlined that "one word that is often overlooked must be taken into account, namely respect, respect for the sentences, for the assessments that will have to be made, respect for the independence of judges, respect for those who pay for everything and perhaps do not buy a footballer and therefore perhaps he sees his championship goals compromised for a healthy choice. I, as minister of sport, am waiting".
