Fiorentina, Commisso: 'VAR needs to be used more and in better ways'
- Apollo Heyes
"I thank the 1500 fans who came to watch us play away. I was afraid we'd never win when I'm at the stadium, but we did and I'm happy because things are going well. Racism? I was also an immigrant in New York and having suffered some discrimination myself, I cannot accept that this is done by my fans. The stadium? The intention is to do it as soon as possible, if I do not let me do fast, I do not want to do it, I cannot wait 7-8 years. Italian football? Beautiful, 99% though. There are still things to fix, and I want to contribute. Definitely in the infrastructure, but also with VAR. It should be used more and better, perhaps giving the possibility of a call from the teams. You can't criticize the intentionality of the referee; you have to remove this thing from our football.”
69-year-old Italian American Rocco Commisso purchased the Florence based club from the Della Valle family earlier this year in a deal worth around €150 million. So far, he is working on the club’s infrastructure by investing in their training facilities and looking to build a new stadium for the club to replace the aging Stadio Artemio Franchi.
