Ferreri Caputi: «More communication from the referees? There is a designator that explains”
Maria Sole Ferreri Caputi gave an interview to Messaggero. The newspaper asks her about her career, the difficulties and future prospects of the refereeing class. No mention of the delicate moment in The Hague. The leitmotif is “Ferreri Caputi changed history”, to the point that the League dedicated a docufilm to him: “Un giorno di Sole”.
Il Messaggero writes that Italian referees are a source of pride, despite public opinion not being up to par:
«If we believe this, it is not our fault, but that of those who think so. Maybe the problem doesn’t come from us, at least I don’t think so».
Ferreri Caputi made refereeing history in the men’s Serie A:
«In Italy we have caught up. My emotion is the same as any other who has stepped in my step, man or woman. The media coverage then made everything special. I represent a path of girls who preceded me: if I’m here it’s for them too».
On gender equality:
«I feel this equality: I have the same opportunities and burdens as my colleagues, my skills are adequate. of course, girls are still in the minority compared to men, and only by increasing the base will it be possible to make a true comparison. At the moment, girls have the opportunities to achieve their dreams and that matters».
