Marco Tardelli talked at UN about soccer and values

Marco Tardelli at UN to speak to the young about sport and values.

“It is not a good time for our football. Scandals, betting, society on the brink of failure. For an Italian it’s even more difficult to be believable when talking about these things. I think that the students, however, have perceived my passion and the desire to return to a different kind of football, as what I experienced as a boy. ”

“I am very harsh on my country, because I love it and I cannot just remain indifferent to certain episodes so shameful. I always say to the club supporters, the real ones: you have to be the first to be indignants, you have to isolate those fifty, one hundred idiots who think only of cause and place  offensive banners, those who reported “boo” to the black opponent, the revolt must begin with you. Those hooligans should be thrown outside the stadiums, otherwise nothing will ever change. ”

“… I’m sorry to say but I do not think we will do it, because no one has the will to do it. And also the clubs often want not to notice anything.”
