Rome, Dec. 19 (LaPresse) – "The verbal aggression between Allegri and Oriali? We're talking about a disgrace. Sanctions are applied in the event of a violation of sports regulations. Here, I believe it's a cultural issue; we need to regain a sense of civility. Unfortunately, insults are becoming almost normal, the behavior on the benches is unwatchable, and people are convinced that the more they shout from the bench, the more they can influence decisions on the field. There is only one loser in all this, and that is soccer. This applies to Folorunsho, to the presidents, to the fans, and to the coaches. We talk about football and respect, we talk about fair play, ethics, and respect, we print it on our jerseys, we run campaigns, and then we spit on each other." So said Gabriele Gravina, president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), at a press conference following the Federal Council meeting on December 19.
