The controversy about Adani does not subside, who writes: "I have just started". The background of Goria: "If I were in heaven, I would tell him to calm down"

The article discusses ongoing controversies surrounding Daniele Adani, a sports commentator for Rai, following criticism over his biased commentary during the World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina. The debate has expanded beyond initial concerns about the balance of coverage, involving exchanges with regional councilor Luca Paladini and reflections by former Rai journalist Amedeo Goria. Adani responded to Paladini’s critique with a message suggesting he was 'just starting' and advising him to 'get used to being envious.' Paladini later shared the message publicly, clarifying that his comments were solely about the style of commentary and not related to Adani's career. Meanwhile, Goria criticized the current trend in sports broadcasting, where commentators often adopt divisive personas and prioritize spectacle over balanced reporting. He suggested that Rai should calm down but acknowledged that today's audience values attention-grabbing personalities.

The article criticizes Rai, Italy's public broadcaster, for giving airtime to Daniele Adani, a former footballer turned commentator, whom the author describes as a 'spaciotore di parole deliranti' (spreader of delirious words). The author argues that Adani's commentary during the England vs Argentina match was biased and presumptuous, comparing him unfavorably to past respected commentators like Carosio and Zavoli.
