Seedorf: The best results can come from diversity
Seedorf believes opportunities are not distributed equally in European football.
legend,
Clarence Seedorf
has criticized the apparent discrimination and lack of diversity in European football.
In an interview with
La Gazzetta dello Sport
, the Dutchman said:
“My regret is that I had an agreement with Milan to start in June. I accepted to begin earlier and I couldn’t continue after the end of the season.
“I accepted the other offers to prove my worth. I had to take risks because I hadn’t had many opportunities and we know why.
“I played 12 years in Italy: after Milan, despite having done a great job, I received no calls.
“Holland is my country, yet again, zero calls. What are the selection criteria? Why do great champions have no chance in Europe where they wrote pages of football history?
“Why does Vieira have to go to New York and Henry to Canada? For coaches there are no equal opportunities: if we look at the figures, there are no black people in the positions of greatest power in football.
“It’s something that concerns the whole of society. Everyone, especially those who can change things, must feel the responsibility to create a meritocratic world and keep all the doors open if they aspire to excellence. The best results can come from diversity.”
