He stated to TMW, "If I say what I think, I hurt someone. Football has changed and I don't like it anymore. 

"I'm close to De Laurentiis, I'm very sorry. I'm surprised that people still go to the stadium despite everything. Presidents don't count for anything anymore, they are constantly blackmailed by agents and free agents. Even sports directors don't count for anything anymore.

"They think about making money, football is over now. Give me an hour of television and I'll name names. A serious person today can no longer play football in Italy."
