Milan, 16 March (LaPresse) – ‘Is it right not to question Bastoni’s call-up to the national team? I believe that players are called up not only for their technical ability but also for their conduct. Bastoni had the clarity of mind to admit he was wrong.’ So said the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, on the sidelines of the opening of a playground in Cologno Monzese as part of the Illumina project, conceived and funded by Sport e Salute. "The fans’ boos? I believe respect is paramount, and this respect is demonstrated in the behaviour of the players and in the behaviour of those who often take their cue from the players ,‘ he added. ’Considering the public as part of the sporting experience, because I believe that at certain levels, you reach a point where you realise you’re playing for the public, not for yourself. And if you’re at such a high professional level, alongside the rights that are always contractually enshrined and respected, there are also duties – so these are mutual obligations on both sides," concluded Abodi.
