“We can’t stand any more of these cowardly s… dressed up as Prince Charmings, we need to help women distance themselves from anyone who claims to own their freedom.”
This is the appeal that the coach of the national football team Luciano Spalletti launches from the microphone of Alessandro Antinelli's Raisport, intervening on the latest femicide, that of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin.
It is not the first time that the Tuscan coach has made his voice heard on social and current issues. He did it last year in Naples. "I want to remember Mahsa Amini and Hadith Najafi, I will not add anything else". With these words Luciano Spalletti had made his debut in the press conference on the eve of Napoli's match against Torino.

It is sad to think that such burdensome situations for women still exist today. We hope that awareness will lead to concrete changes.
It is important that public figures like Spalletti make their voices heard on these issues, so as to raise awareness in society.
I'm glad that football is interested in social issues, it's a way to give a voice to those who can't.
