Gerry Cardinale riles up Lecce and Cagliari fans

A.C. Milan president Gerry Cardinale during his interview on the podcast ‘The Varsity’ made some phrases that angered fans, particularly from Lecce and Cagliari. Speaking about the need to grow Serie A economically, Cardinale explained how important promotion abroad is.

“Serie A is the most competitive league, but we don&#8217t get paid for it. The Premier League has almost four times the TV revenue of the other European leagues, and that is a problem. We cannot get meaningful international rights deals because distributors only want “the best”. In the United States, for example, no one wants to see Cagliari versus Lecce and that is a problem” is the phrase that raised a fuss on social media.

“Competition is the’essence of sport, but it is not rewarded economically”, continued Cardinale, whose exit will surely cause discussion.
