Moratti satisfied with new laws

Inter chief Massimo Moratti insists the Italian game is now on the right path to combating football violence.

Football in the peninsula looks set to resume this weekend – if confirmed by a special cabinet meeting on Wednesday – and Moratti has applauded the proposed new measures designed to clean up the game.

"The decision to resume playing immediately has not been made out of the interests of the clubs, but for the fans," said the Nerazzurri owner.

"I think that the laws that are being proposed are the right ones, this is the path to follow.

"We will obtain the results we are hoping for if there is a strong cooperation between every component of the footballing world.

"I don’t think these laws will distort the championship, refereeing mistakes distort it much more. Now we just have to work together for the common good of this sport."

Minister for Sport Giovanna Melandri has reiterated that only stadiums who satisfy the Legge Pisanu will be permitted fan entry.

Currently only the stadiums in Palermo, Rome, Turin and Siena fit the bill, but Moratti believes that supporters will be allowed to enter the San Siro for the big match between Inter and Roma, which could take place in mid-April.

"I really don’t think it will be played behind closed doors because the stadium in Milan should be fine," said the oil tycoon.

"The decision to ban fans would be okay for a short period, but it cannot be a regulation that lasts forever."
