Remote question and answer between the president of the FIGC, Carlo Gravina, and the patron of Lazio and senator of Forza Italia, Claudio Lotito.
To trigger the fuse, the n.1 of Italian football: “I would be careful about the Federation-League dispute – says Gravina – I have a splendid relationship with many presidents. Then there are individuals who think they can manage the world of football as they please I am referring to Lotito and Lotitism”. “When we talk about autonomy – he explains – we need to understand how it is possible that in Italy some people are part of the Federal Council, of the Lega Serie A assembly, and are senators, members of the finance commission, owners of teams… we talk of autonomy but it is a principle linked to respect”.
The reply from the president of the Capitoline club is dry: “Pure hostility and broken resentment towards me” he writes in a note to ANSA underlining “with amazement Mr. Gravina’s statements on my person” and the League “in order to defend himself from responsibilities regarding the current state of football in Italy that everyone attributes to him”. “I read with amazement Mr. Gravina’s statements about me – this is the full text of the note – which speak for themselves: clear manifestations of pure hostility and broken resentment towards me, in order to defend himself from responsibilities regarding the state current situation of football in Italy that everyone attributes to him. His personal relationships with some presidents do not exclude the discomfort and confusion that reigns in the football system today, shared by all operators who seek, despite the obstacles posed by Mr. Gravina, to renew it the rules”. “My position – continues Lotito – as club owner, federal councilor, League councilor and member of the Senate, roles also acquired with regular and democratic elections, allows me to have a broader and more complete vision of the problems and possible solutions for eliminate the failures produced. The world of football does not ask for isolation, but requires a broad vision of its various components, to which my institutional roles, given the important and high value of football, give me the opportunity to offer an active contribution, causing it to emerge from an autonomy, erroneously understood as a “personal grand duchy”.
