AC Milan coach Leonardo fed-up with growing tension inside Italian football
AC Milan coach Leonardo has admitted some exasperation with the events of this season.
Leonardo feels there is now too much tension built around teams and rivalries in Italy.
Indeed, yesterday Milan lost to Genoa in an empty stadium after police banned fans over fears of major crowd trouble.
"I'm very attached to Italian football, I've been here for thirteen years and I am sorry to see that every game has become like ancient Rome with gladiators in the Coliseum," said Leonardo.
"We should avoid certain issues which do not contribute to the quality of the show, there is a limit, we need to change the environment."

Sounds like your a bit of whiner too man....YOU need to grow up your little butt:)
WELL SAID LEO. Italian soccer is a hotbed of racism and violence.Props to leo for speaking out against things most italians would like to sweep under the carpet.
A lot of people complained about Ancelotti, but at least he didn't whine day in and day out. Man, Leo whines so much. He whines like a little schoolgirl. Grow up dude.
