“Tonight, before the Inter-Napoli match, we witnessed shameful chants not only against the city of Naples, but also against Diego Maradona, with quotes about cholera and invocations to Vesuvius.“, denounced the deputy of the League, Simona Loizzo, in statements reproduced by ANSA.
The deputy also targeted the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Gabriele Gravina, for pretending “that nothing happens, while every Sunday one of the cities of the pride of Italy is vilified and outraged as it happened forty years ago“.
“¿What is Gravina waiting to move? Really ridiculous. Are fines of ten thousand euros enough to resolve the matter?“, questioned Loizzo in a questioning tone, alluding to FIGC measures against other previous acts of racism in “Calcio”.
The match in Milan this afternoon determined that the pointer Napoli, where Maradona is a perennial idol, lost an undefeated 19 dates by falling 1-0 as a visitor to Inter.
