Director Riccardo Milani won’t be offended if we take one of his latest films “Come un gatto in tangenziale” starring Paola Cortellesi and Antonio Albanese to photograph the state of the art in regards to the much discussed possible Serie C reform. We have listened and read the most controversial opinions: the author is not opposed to the idea that was born in the halls of Lega Pro on via Jacopo Da Diacceto, but it cannot be considered a panacea for all evils, given the many questions that accompany it. Are we sure that dividing the three champions into many smaller groups will make the product more attractive to TV? Difficult, as weekend slots are occupied by Serie A, Serie B, Premier League, League, etc. In a word, little will change in the first months of the season. The boom of the last playoffs can be explained in two ways: on the one hand, of course, the appeal of the Champions League-style challenges from within, on the other hand, the fact that Serie A and European competition have already ended. The only hole in the schedule is Friday, and if you want to make the most of the product, you should play on that day. On Friday, the third series will be full of interest and visibility, finding itself in the spotlight of Italian football. I know this may sound like a provocation, but over the weekend (Saturday-Sunday) the mainstream broadcasters will always be sacrificing other events on the altar. But let’s get back to our cat reform, which, like the Cortellesi-Albanian couple in the film, runs the risk of being just one cat on the ring road. Laconic and at the same time caustic comment of the president of FIGC Gabriele Gravina in the last hours: “The reform conceived by Serie C? If it’s for running ahead, then I’m already saying that it’s not good. This is not the final reform of Italian football. We have to think as a system.” The series needs a joint decision with other leagues. The game seems to be complex and there are many actors who want to play an important role (Balata and Lega Nazionale Dilettanti). We will talk more about this on December 12, and of course, the possible revolution in the format will not begin until the 2024/25 season. Except next August…
