Massimo Pavan has raised a point of contention in the football world, stating: «If De Laurentiis talks about the Super League and leaves Atalanta out, everyone stays silent. If Agnelli does it, he’s practically ostracized.»
The commentator highlights what he perceives as a disparity in reactions. He suggests that when Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis voices opinions or proposals regarding a Super League, potentially excluding certain clubs like Atalanta, there is a general lack of public outcry or criticism. However, Pavan contrasts this with the treatment of Juventus’s former chairman, Andrea Agnelli, who, when involved with similar discussions or ventures, faced significant negative repercussions and was effectively sidelined.
This observation by Pavan points to a perceived inconsistency in how prominent figures in football are judged and treated when they propose or discuss ideas that challenge the established order, particularly concerning major European competitions.
