I've read about a lot of things, not just in Italy: betting, drugs, sexual abuse... and I think the blame partly lies with those who prepare them. I don't mean the club and the managers, but even the coaches who are directly involved with the boys, who spend 4-5 hours a day with them, working, talking, can't help but notice if something is wrong," said the coach.
