Italian Football Federation President Gravina was interviewed by ANSA. He talked about the controversy surrounding the Italy-Israel World Cup qualifying match in Udinese.
"The Italy-Israel game should not be played? We are playing football. Should we lose the game, be punished, and not go to the World Cup? In this case, wouldn't we just put Israel - a team that they (protesters) are unwilling to let participate in the World Cup - -Sent to the World Cup? It's hard for me to understand this twisted thinking that I don't agree with. People who think like this said a huge stupid thing. "
"The atmosphere between Italian fans and Israeli fans is joyful and calm. Whoever wins wins and loses. If you lose, you lose. We have the same attitude as the Israeli Football Association. But the militants on the sidelines destroyed a city on the very day a peace was being made. "
Finally, Gravina defined the conflict outside the Friuli Stadium in Udinese this way: "This is an incident caused by an organization that has nothing to do with any fan group or political faction. They are purely for destruction. ”
