Milan, 20 November (LaPresse) – ‘Serie A abroad like the NFL at the Bernabeu? I believe that some changes can be made in the world of football and that it can open up to matches abroad, as the NFL does, as the NBA does, as the Giro d'Italia itself does, which starts its first stage abroad.’ This was stated by the president of the Serie A League, Ezio Simonelli, during the Sport Industry Talk event organised by Rcs Academy in Milan. ‘We are trying with Milan-Como. I agree with you that Perth is very far away, and I agree with you that it will be inconvenient for the fans, but it is also true that for Italian football, having this international stage, ahead of all other countries, could be a good calling card,’ he added. ‘I understand the inconvenience and disappointment of many fans, including myself, because I also consider myself a fan, but if I look at the future of Italian football, it may be a sacrifice that can still be considered acceptable,’ Simonelli concluded.
