Francesco Baranca, head of the UAF Ethics and Fair Play Committee, told ANSA what one of the main problems of modern football is.
Francesco Baranca- The profile of today's footballer is more like that of a gambler than anything else. Now there is a need to talk about it openly and change your mentality. Instead, unfortunately, after a week we forget about any scandal. We need to talk about the risks we take and create a real code of ethics: think of Newcastle, they spent 80 million on Tonali and now he could be suspended, what damage is that to the club? I would say colossal. If we look at all the players who bet - believe me, nothing has changed in the last ten years," said the Italian.
