Gravina: “Italy repechage at the World Cup makes us not very credible”

The president of the Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, was very clear about the hot topic of the last few months: “If we talk about the repechage we become not very credible, football has winners and losers, Italy has not qualified and will not participate in the world championship, if we then need to change the rules we will work on it later, but we cannot continue to say things that put us in a position to be fooled “. On the failure to resign, which many had requested, he then added: “Do you really think that the solution was my resignation and that of Mancini? My sense of responsibility is not tied to the chair, I love to face problems, I take responsibility for them” .
