“I had agreed that if Italy hadn’t been there, I would have commented on the World Cup final“. To say it is Lele Adanithe sports columnist who made the hearts of Argentine fans beat faster during the World Cup in Qatar with words of appreciation for Lionel Messi (“he maradone, he does what Diego did”). A week after the end of the World Cup in Qatar, the former footballer indulged in a long outburst live on Twitch on BoboTv in which he told his truth about the controversial commentary of the final between Argentina and France: commenting on the match were Alberto Remedy and Antonio Di Gennaro, while he had to settle for watching the third-place match between Croatia and Morocco. The news made noise and Rai explained that the choice was motivated by “trivial” hierarchy. Now, however, Adani provides another version of the facts
“To understand what happened in the designation of the final you have to go back to august 2021, when I sign the contract with Rai. What I am telling you is a confidence that absolves people who have been attacked.” Adani explained that in June 2021, following the Italy-Hungary match, during a dinner with Rimedio and Di Gennaro in Cesena, he agreed that he would not comment on the matches of the Italian national team “because that place rightfully belongs to Rimedio and Di Gennaro . He didn’t even care to talk about it. Before the final for third place, we are having dinner in Doha with Rimedio, Antinelli and Donatella Scarnati. And there I told everything – explained Lele Adani – Alberto, do you still remember what I told you in Cesena, that I would never have commented on Italy because it was up to you and Antonio? That evening, however, I didn’t tell you the other thing I had agreed on: that if Italy hadn’t been there, I would have commented on the World Cup final. In the Rai offices, while I was signing, in front of the director and all the people responsible for the contracts, we had reached this agreement. These were the deals. But there’s a problem: nothing was written down. And shortly after, the sporting direction changed”.
