Players’ Association President Damiano Tommasi wants children or grandparents on benches to “mitigate tension.”
The idea came to him after Roma’s Alessandro Florenzi celebrated a goal at the weekend by running into the stands to hug his grandmother.
“If we mutate the concept of the 18th person on board the yacht in the America’s Cup, we could think of a guest on the bench during every game,” Tommasi told news agency ANSA.
“A child, a grandmother or a grandfather: basically a presence that can mitigate tension.”
