Fiorentina, Rocco Commisso comes down hard on it

A river in flood, attack on the Italian soccer system

Commisso has never been one to mince his words. In this case, he wanted to be very clear. He does not like the Italian soccer system and, in his opinion, something is not working. The patron of the Viola points the finger at several Italian clubs. He does not envy anyone, his Fiorentina è healthy, from every point of view.

"Envy anyone? No, becauseé certain victories have come thanks to absurd debt situations that led clubs almost to bankruptcy and then into the hands of Fondi due to the failure of the properties to repay the loans received. And I still wonder if those who won in certain years could have been registered in the championship", his words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The patron of the Viola reveals that he could have bought Milan (… "then è ended up with Mr. Li and you know how è ended") and points the finger at Zhang who, in fact, è was forced to leave Inter due to economic issues: "We no longer knowù where’è… Also forced to leave Inter, indebted to the Oaktree Fund".

He does not spare Juventus either and sheds light on the Atalanta project: "Then there’è the Juve case: from Ronaldo onwards Exor in five years had to put 900 million euros to fix the balance sheets, despite the fact that annual revenues were more than 450 million, more than three times those of Fiorentina. Of the clubs we can compare ourselves to, in size and revenues, only Atalanta did better than us in terms of results, but their project, including infrastructure, è started earlier. The others no, I cannot envy them".
