Rome-Seville, the outburst of the graduating student on her father’s support

Marta, a biology graduate student, spoke to Rai Radio2: “I’m coming after your football team”. The debate flares up

It is well known that all the tension for the final in Budapest has been breathing in Rome for days. Among fans ready to do anything to find a ticket for the match against Sevilla which is worth the Europa League and those ready to cover the more than 1200 kilometers that divide the two capitals by car, there are also those who are grappling with half a drama familiar. Marta’s story is making the rounds on social media, sparking a decidedly suggestive debate.

The vent

In fact, the girl vented on Rai Radio 2: “My name is Marta and I would like to tell you something that is making me feel bad. On Wednesday I graduate in biology, but my father will not be at the ceremony because he told me he had found some tickets for the Europa League final between Rome and Sevilla in Budapest. For a 60-year-old man, his daughter’s graduation comes after his soccer team.”

The debate

Words taken from various sites followed by responses from fans and non-fans. There are those who take the girl’s side completely: “Well, the gentleman has earned a one-way ticket to the nursing home. Then don’t cry when football will be the only thing left in your life because you are lunatics” , “This story perfectly describes the average Italian man,” some write. But there are also those, like Massimiliano, who slip in on behalf of their father: “Surely your father made sacrifices to get you a degree, now it’s time you don’t get annoyed”, said in less publicable terms… There is no shortage of certificates of esteem: “I don’t like epic rhetoric about brave and legendary figures… but this is an absolute hero, period”, tweeted Filippo. And ValeGambo: “The greatest Romanist since the days of Giacomo Losi”. Then there are those who try to take advantage of the situation, like Marco: “Oh, if dad chooses a degree, I can always get the tickets…”.
