The facts and the accusation
–
The sad story dates back to November 24 during the Serie D challenge between Club Milano and Pro Sesto. Alessandro Sala, the midfielder of the guest team, asks his coach for the change by complaining about a series of insulting behaviors and words pronounced by the Arfitro cafeteria: once sitting on the bench next to his coach, Sala is then expelled from the Sardinian whistle and subsequently disqualified for four days (decision then suspended). The pro Sesto immediately denounced the incident, complaining “free and disrespectful phrases from the race director” which would even have arrived – during a discussion – to wish the footballer cancer. Who, a few hours later, also posted the photo of his mother on his social profiles, affected in the past by a tumor, accompanied by very hard words: “I think life gives you important emotions and moments, but it also puts you to the test. I just wanted to show the smile in front of the disease of a strong and determined woman, of a woman who has always done sacrifices despite everything to see the smile of her children. Match I played and I think that before wishing certain things you should think and understand the seriousness of what is said, especially if you represent who respect must always keep it on the field and enforce rules “. Then the investigation of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the sentence of the National Federal Court, which inflicted two years of suspension on the referee.
