Fans kicked out of the North curve: Inter and Abodi on alert

The day after is that of the indignation of many Inter fans who have vented on social networks for being forced by the ultras to leave the Curva Nord at half-time, as a sign of respect for the death of their leader, Vittorio Boiocchi, the 69-year-old offender killed yesterday in an ambush outside his home. The viale della Liberazione club has been called into question by many supporters, unhappy with having lost half the match, but for the moment Inter have not issued press releases or made any decisions about it. The “case”, however, is followed with great attention by the management and will be at the center of meetings as early as tomorrow.

NO TO VIOLENCE

–

Steven Zhang’s club has always deplored all forms of violence and collaborated with the police to make San Siro a safer stadium. It is no coincidence that the number of stewards also employed in non-cartel matches has increased over the months. From Viale della Liberazione yesterday a firm condemnation filtered for the episodes reported on social media and the desire to evaluate all possible opportunities, including initiatives to protect damaged fans. Initiatives that, let’s face it right away, don’t seem easy to put into practice. Who to give the “refreshment”, perhaps giving the ticket for the second round of the Coppa Italia on Tuesday 10 January? At the whole curve, including the ultras who have “invited” people, with good or bad manners, to leave the plant? Someone was allowed to enter neighboring sectors, such as the third green or the second red, and the race was able to finish seeing it. Maybe after losing the start of the second half, but not Correa’s spectacular 3-0. It should not be forgotten that the Nord, where there are 7,500 seats, was completely sold out during the season ticket campaign and that for the championship matches it is not possible to buy tickets for that sector.

INVESTIGATIONS

–

It is clear that the affair will not end quickly, not so much for the issue of “refreshments”, but because the police, alerted by the protests of the fans and some footage that has been collected (others may arrive), want ascertain whether, as evidenced by the testimonies on social media, the exit of the spectators from the North was forced by the ultras with abrupt ways. In this case, if the perpetrators of violence are identified, there will be administrative measures such as the Daspo. Even the Minister of Sport, Andrea Abodi, responding on Twitter to the request of a fan (“Minister, take serious measures! The stadium belongs to all fans, including sectors that have always seemed to be on loan for use with nothing to do with with sport ”) promised:“ I will find out about what happened ”. Then in the evening Abodi added: “What happened is unacceptable. Measures will be taken.” Not even he can be calm because, after the tensions of last weekend at the Franchi, he arrived on a Saturday that was anything but clear at San Siro, with assorted reports of punches and shoves from the ultras to those who did not want to leave at half-time.
