Milan, Apr 2 (LaPresse) – "I think that this phase needs a period of active work, in which solutions are put in place for issues that the system has not been able to address and resolve under ordinary circumstances. I therefore hope that the conditions exist, also requested by the Federal Council, for a commissioner to be appointed that allows substance to be given to this period and then enables the Federation to move towards new elections. If we were to focus only on elections, we would not solve the problems. Since this has been discussed for years, let us find solutions by using the commissioner, who represents a great opportunity: a figure who also comes from the world of football, who knows it and who possibly has not had major compromises with a system that, with this defeat, I believe has closed a cycle." This is what the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, said speaking to the microphones of 'Non Stop News' on Rtl 102.5. "A defeat we would have gladly done without, because we all hoped to go to America, Mexico and Canada, not only us older ones but especially the young people, who have never seen a World Cup. A commissioner structure is not just one person, it is something more – he added – All elements must be made available, also on our part, with measures useful to the football system to evolve and overcome difficulties that are not only economic, but also structural. For this reason, one cycle has ended and another must begin."
