The member of the Executive Committee of the Uruguayan Football Association, Carlos Manta, referred to the sale of football television rights and referred to the image of “mafia” that the people in this sport has for which “we contribute all”.

“The leaders are not well seen, but you don’t [a los periodistas]”, Manta began by being interviewed last to the arch (Sport 8.90 am) with her particular style and added:” Here there are no bad people, there are better or worse, but we are all guilty of this moment. “

“If they throw a grenade on the one hand and they return it; if you talk about mafia here and there, that they are bought, people have the right to think anything,” he reflected with some self -criticism.

“There is talk of mafia in football, an image in which we are all involved and we do not realize the damage we did to this sport. We all put a grain of sand so that this image is generated,” he said.

“The least we can do is that if there is a specifications, that it is crystalline, that everything can be seen and that the biggest bidder takes the prize of the great business that is Uruguay AUF ”.

And he pointed out about what happens in the association: “Drastic changes must be generated, there are no 71 clubs to which the AUF holds in expenses such as now. You have to reduce the number of institutions, leave those who have the best conditions, have a headquarters, a group of partners that support it and give something to the community. You have to make a restructuring.”

“Football does not deserve to have all its actors throwing stones from one side to the other,” said Manta.
