Back and forth via social media between the protagonists of the episode that ruined Cagliari-Udinese. The attacker: I hope Serie A does something.” The defender: “Nothing could be further from my culture”
While waiting for the good game and a greater intensity that will allow us to shorten the gap with the Europe that counts, Italian football also finds itself having to deal with brawls and even sadder episodes. In the final of Cagliari-Udinese, a match without ranking tensions, Dossena and Davis were protagonists of an alleged case of racism. At a certain point, the Juventus striker lost his head and called for the referee’s intervention (who punished him with a yellow card, which was revoked as soon as he understood the reason for the protests) after hearing something intolerable. Which this time came not from the stands but from an opponent. These are Davis’ words to Alberto Dossena: “This cowardly racist called me a monkey today during the match. I hope Serie A does something about this, but we’ll see.”

With the inevitable post, Dossena then also had his say, denying any accusation: “Being accused of racism saddens and hurts me. It is a very serious accusation, it would never cross my mind to address another person, a colleague with an insult of that type. It is the first time that such a situation has happened to me in which I have to defend myself from a defamatory accusation. Such behavior is the furthest thing from my culture and education”.
