Nobody takes responsibility
Speaking on “Non stop News”, Abodi spoke at length about the failure of the Italian expedition and above all about the fact that no one seems to want to take responsibility for what happened. “The game is now over, we’re back home, but the thing that surprised me is the search for responsibility on the part of others. I think that when faced with defeat, the first factor that must emerge is self-criticism and starting from there. It’s too easy to look at the responsibility of others. Once again, sport teaches us to take responsibility directly and not to transfer it”, he said.
“Morally absent national team”
The minister then spoke about the players and a sort of moral issue. “The players who go on the pitch know this perfectly well, I can’t imagine that they didn’t have the ability to rewind the tape, review the game and understand where they went wrong. Moreover, these are not individual and tactical errors, the national team seemed to be morally absent. This must stir up reflections, so that there can be a full stop”, he explained.
