“There’s always some idiot, he’s strong inside” – Corriere.it

Claudio Ranieri, the second hit on the market from his Cagliari was Jakub Jankto, the first active player to come out, whom she wanted with her after her experience at Sampdoria. For her arrival surrounded by controversy for the words of Minister Abodi. What do you think?

If I read correctly he said no problem. I saw they latched on to the fact that you talked about showing off.

The minister specified that he was referring to Pride.

Everyone has his own ideas, but there is always someone who wants to extrapolate something to be able to make controversy. I know Abodi, who is a serious, competent, sensitive person. And he brought all of that into his ministry to him.

What assessments did you make by asking President Giulini to buy Jankto?


I haven’t made any evaluations that weren’t those of a good player, intelligent, suited to my project, serious, available, a great professional. These are the things I look at in a player, other things don’t interest me. I know a golden boy, when you explain things to him he tries to put them into practice. Then like everyone can do good or bad.

Jankto made a disruptive choice, which she herself, knowing him, had greeted with meaningful words.

I understand how much he must have suffered before to express something that is natural: it was hard for him and who knows how many other kids he is, I don’t know in football or in sport, but in the family. That’s why I said it would be nice if there were other messages as well so, to make it clear that there are no differences.

Does Italian football now have an opportunity to take a step forward?

When I made this choice, I looked at both the player’s profile and the fact that a team is a family, we have an excellent dressing room, I’m convinced there won’t be any problems.

Can problems come to stadiums?

I have often touched it with my hand and the mother of the ignorant is always pregnant. Maybe there will be some idiot who will say something, but we have to go further.

Should the media also have less morbidity towards the player?

This is the most important thing, because if we have to educate, we have to educate everyone. I understand the right to report, but that’s enough for now.

Do you think he will have to protect the player?

I think a guy who did what he did is already strong inside.

After the playoff final won in Bari, you stopped the chants of your fans against those opponents. What message?

I would like people to cheer just for us: our president Tommaso Giulini has set up a cheering school for children. We want to propose the values ​​of sport. We want to do something and we who have visibility will have to try to do more to educate everyone. I know what a utopia, but if you never try….

Jankto landed last night. So today you will see him?

S. Finally we begin. He’ll talk to us, wish him good luck and I hope to see him as I know him: resolute, determined to make assists, to score goals, to run up that flank and to give us all of his energy.
