The words of Urbano Cairo

Urbano Cairo has not digested the behavior of the three bigs, Juventus, Inter and Milan, who went to the Figc to plead the cause of the 18-team Serie A: "They wanted to make a Superleghina" said smilingly the president of Turin and Rcs MediaGroup when he è left the meeting in Via Rosellini. 

"The assembly,” Cairo began, “confirmed by an overwhelming majority, 16 votes to 4, both the will to maintain the right of understanding and the 20-team format because if you look at the most important leagues in Europe, the English and Spanish leagues, they are 20-team… È that is the format that works. That meeting in Figc of the three teams (Juve, Inter and Milan, ed.) was not very well seen because the League is right to have its own compactness. Then there are rights that Lega must have related to the fact that the A maintains all Italian soccer. It è right that it has its own autonomy and maintains the right of understanding. They say that the big three have talked about it with Gravina because é è the vice president of Uefa, but è the timing to be wrong".

"There isn't a rift between us and them: they had the wrong attitude, as the rest of the assembly also believes. Being an association of 20 teams è it&#39s right that there should be mutual respect. I am sorry to say this because I have good relations with Marotta, Scaroni and all of them. Is there'è still confidence in those who represent us Serie A in the Federal Council (Marotta and Scaroni, ed.)? It hasn't been talked about. Those who è in the Federal Council should not represent themselves, but the whole Serie A. Not è the è in a personal capacity. No one asked for Marotta’s resignation. In the assembly the atmosphere è was cordial and without high tones, but the one they wanted to do è seemed to be … a Superleague (smile, ed.). The other was the Superleague, this è the Superleghina".
