“Every second team that goes in there is a victim of the team that is there and may not be there, but we need to look at the greater good, which is football, our youth, the movement and the national team.” Here are some of the words of the President of League Pro, Matteo Marani, he said yesterday on the sidelines of the Gran Gala del Calcio, where the best achievements of Italian football are celebrated every year. The words that, in the delirium of the voices heard on such occasions, struck me. Not because there is anything new in the concession granted as part of the B teams’ project, but rather because of the way the Serie C number one expressed himself.
The statements in question were reminiscent of the most classic SOS phrase: “Every man for himself.” For example, when at sea on a ship taking on water “for the greater good,” you consciously decide to leave the weakest behind while trying to save the strongest. As if the latter managed to survive despite the sinking boat due to an unclear superiority.
Let’s be clear. Any club playing in Serie A has equal rights and obligations. The same goes for B and C. If you have what it takes to compete in the championship, you should be able to compete. Without “ifs” and “buts”. Because if we start thinking about elite football at least in the third series, then we can really close the case.
