“The Premier League was behind Serie A in past yearsbut as a system when we were at the top we have not invested abroad and created a strong league. Now we have reactivated the system, but late.” The CEO of Serie A said this, Luigi De Siervoduring the Social Football Summit underway at the Olympic Stadium. “The stadiums are the real gap with the Premier League. Luckily we are starting to change, the public is there, the facilities are always full and I remain optimistic for the future because the big work of setting up was done to reach the Premier – he added -. Now we have to put the projects on the ground and try to recover ground.” Speaking of Super Cup played in Arabia he then clarified: “The NBA and NFL have always played in Europe and around the worldthey do it successfully and it pays off.
It’s not clear why it becomes a scandal if Serie A does the same. We don’t do politics, we try to contaminate new fans. And where did the world open up? In the Middle East. There are 400 million people sick of football and they are young“. De Siervo then announced that for the next Super Cup a package has been “christened for fans to follow matches in Arabia at competitive prices” because the objective “is bring a thousand Italian fans for each match“.
