How the top pundits of the two channels stack up against each other

He recently told RAI 1’s series Sogno Azzurro: “I cannot fight with cancer because I would not be able to win this battle, it is a much stronger opponent than me. 

“Cancer is an unwanted travel companion, but I can’t help it. It got on the train with me and I have to go ahead (and) travel with my head down, never giving up, hoping that one day this unwanted guest will get tired and leave peacefully for many years because there are still so many things I want to do in this life.

“I realise that people can look at me, see that I am doing alright, and hope that they might do the same – maybe because I was a footballer and a strong man, but also fragile and vulnerable at the same time, so I think someone may have recognised themselves in this.

“I’m here with all my faults and my many fears, but also with the desire to do something important.”
