Is Italian football preparing for reforms?

The Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi said that he would like to see more replacements and smaller draws in football, instead of which Berlusconi offered a penalty shootout after matches.

In his opinion, this will contribute to the popularity of the game in the country. He curled this in an interview with the Italian weekly Controcampo. Recall that in addition to the dominance in the country, Berlusconi is the president of one of the leaders of Italian football - the Milan club, Reuters notes.

It would seem that the statement of the Italian Prime Minister could be ignored. Well, albeit himself, loves sharp interchanges. However, at the same time, Berlusconi said that such dramatic matches would be interesting not only for fans, but also for television people. If we take into account that the Berlusconi family owns Italian television, an interview with Berlusconi can be regarded as a guide to action. In addition, he noted that at the head of the Italian football association stands a friend and Saratnik Berlusconi - Adriano Galliani, who for a long time was the Vice President of Milan, and now, not without the help of the president, he reached high posts in all Italian football.

Meanwhile, Berlusconi suggested introducing a clean time in football, and provide judges with video replacements. However, realizing that he had said something more than he wanted, the Italian president noted that football is excellent for his unpredictability. It is possible that these were only the personal addictions of Berlusconi. However, if proper conclusions are made of these addictions, then Italian football can affect reform. Further, more. Series A is considered one of the leading world championships, which means that reforms in Italy can respond to other countries.
