Milan, 14 Apr. (LaPresse) – ‘I have paid my debt to justice. With a conviction and a sacrosanct disqualification, with continuous and justified humiliations, with the shame I felt and with the risk of never recovering. I have talked about my serious illness in schools, to my family, friends and the press. The same press that often deals with the serious issues of my illness and how to deal with them, but that today is putting me in the stocks again. Once again. I have endured the burden of having done something bad. Of having disappointed all the people who believed in me’. With these words, Niccolò Fagioli broke his silence on social media after returning to the spotlight for the betting scandal, complete with wiretaps published in various media outlets. ‘By now it's certainly nothing new: without any sense of victimisation, I went through a dark period, I suffered from a serious illness and this is absolutely not a justification. But now seeing all this media frenzy is making me relive those ghosts. No, this time all this is not right. I made a mistake, I paid the price, without having hurt anyone except myself and the people around me. And like any person who makes a mistake and pays the price, I have every right to get back up again’, added the Fiorentina midfielder.
