You do not you deserve that shirt

This weekend we witnessed one of the most disgusting and deplorable chapters we have ever seen on a football field. Party at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genoa, 53 minutes, locals lost 0-4 against AC Siena. At that time the ultras of Genoa CFC moving from bottom to the mouth of locker rooms and begin to throw objects in the field until forced the referee to stop the match. Having achieved that, demanded that the players on his team to take off the shirts because they thought were unworthy of dress. The sad thing is that, following the example of captain Marco Rossi, Grifoni most, some in tears born of rage, indignation, or, why not say, humiliation, met with the imposition of hooliganism, and took off their shirts.

All no. There were two brave men who refused to obey. One was the French goalkeeper Sebastien Frey, fourteen years in the calcium, the latter two, Genoa, which was faced with the crowd shouting This shirt is mine. And the second was Giuseppe Sculli, a six-year veteran on the team (with a lapse of some time in the SS Lazio). The midfielder born in Locri took over the case and climbed the fence of the stands occupied by the most violent tifossi to try to reason with the leader of the Ultras.

All this when most of their peers and their shirts had been given to Rossi, the captain, so that it is the surrender of the bastards. Some fear that something might happen to them or their family, it is understood, or because they no longer wished to continue defending colors that represent those animals with sawdust scarf around his neck and head. At the end Sculli managed to terms with the leader of the cromagnones and agreed that the match was over. Thereafter, the Siena players and match officials returned to the field to resume the match after 45 minutes, which ended with the final result of 1-4.

Genoa has been fined economic and undertake to play their next two home games behind closed doors. Despite the defeat at Siena, is kept out of the relegation zone with 36 points, one ahead of Lecce, which marks the border and 18 º classified. But it could have been much worse: the Italian Federation had not consented to the match was resumed after about 45 minutes of break, Genoa would have been punished with the loss of some points, which, in the situation is and few games that remain disputed (5), would have greatly complicated his stay in Serie A.

The absurdity lived in the Luigi Ferraris is just the tip of a behavior that is well established in the idiosyncrasies of fans around the world. Here in Spain, it is not uncommon to see much of a hobby to accuse the players of his team being mercenaries and declare that the shirt That's not you deserve. Recrimination that is being totally unfair in 90% of cases, especially when you generalize.

Each season has come down several teams in each league. And many more hard time. It is not a desired situation for anyone and it is understandable that some are awaken lust. Luckily, no one reacts violently in every case, much less, which is a measure of the quality of each hobby. It is precisely in these difficult times where you see who is which. In Italy, in the words of the Italian Olympic Committee President Giovanni Petrucci, the situation "it is hopeless."
