Serie A Chairman: Dreaming to hold all the first round of Serie A in the United States

Serie A League Chairman Simonnelli was interviewed by the Evening Post on the occasion of his 200-day tenure as chairman. He talked about the financial status of Serie A clubs and overseas competition promotion.

"The financial situation of clubs throughout Europe is worrying, but we will soon introduce a measure on sustainable development. We are working with the Italian Football Association. When I was elected, I told the clubs that it would make no sense to fight with the Football Association. It is as ridiculous as a listed company in conflict with the SFC. Although Serie A has a great influence worldwide, we represent only 18%. For example, we want to play Milan against Como. In Perth (Australia), the Italian Football Association gave the green light, and Gravina is the vice president of UEFA. I also believe that Cheferin will support us. As for FIFA, Infantino also listened carefully to my opinion. After all, the San Siro Stadium will not be open to the public due to the Winter Olympics."

In recent weeks, Naples President De Laurentis has expressed quite negative views on the economic situation, and Simonnelli said: "I don't think the situation will be Become so bad, domestic television rights have been sold to 2029. Of course, we are now focusing on overseas copyright sales, which is where we have to improve. This is why I want to put all the first round of Serie A in foreign countries. Where? In the United States, I have received a offer. If it can be achieved in the future, it will be great, and there may be more relaxed and free rules. "

" I would say that although Serie A does not have those superstars of the year, our league is still one of the most attractive events in Europe: four different teams won the championship in six years, and no league can be as uncertain as we do. I want to attract young people who are distracted by social media. The game should not start at 20:45 pm (local time) and should be kicked in advance to attract future audiences: if it is up to me, I will set the tick at 20:00 pm. "
