Tonali, Hodgson: Gambling problem in society

Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace manager and a well-known figure in Italian football, expressed his sympathy for Sandro Tonali and Newcastle United during a press conference ahead of their match. When asked about Tonali, Hodgson stated, “I feel sorry for him and I feel sorry for Newcastle, who have to deal with this situation. We know that gambling is a problem in our society. We don’t help him in our sport as we promote betting. We have made great strides with drugs and alcohol. Perhaps gambling and betting will be the next issue to address, and I’m not just talking about football, but society as a whole.”
