Silvestri writes a letter to Maignan
Marco SilvestriUdinese goalkeeper, wrote a letter for Maignan on Instagram: “Dear Mike, I'm writing to you… As a colleague, and above all as a human being. I'm close to you for what happened. It's not the first time, but ALL TOGETHER we must make sure that it is the last. This cannot happen in our stadium, it must not happen in any stadium, in any field, anywhere. Let us all raise our voices: NO TO RACISM! I am writing to you, to tell you again, that I have been defending Udinese's goal for three years and I feel like also defending this city, this club and this fan base. Defending those who truly love football. Respect and education are part of our values, and our team is also a symbol of integration. These people are much more, more than some idiot who shouts out loud stupid words advertising his ignorance and shame on his curve. Dear Mike…stay strong! With esteem and affection for my colleague and above all for the human being. Marco”.
Piantedosi: “Execrable episode, those responsible must pay”
The insults to the goalkeeper Milan Maignan in Udine they represent “an execrable episode from which a clear distance must be kept”. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said this in Campobasso underlining that “the sporting sanction is important but does not exhaust the problem”. In fact, says the head of the Ministry of the Interior, “reflection” with Minister Abodi is necessary to “resume consideration of the issue”. “I trust – concludes Piantedosi – that through the images of the cameras “we can identify” those responsible for the insults, “because it is right that they are called to respond personally”.
Malagò: “It would be essential that it could be the last of these episodes”
“Maignan? I would say that it is not the first episode of this kind, I would say that it would finally be essential that it could be the last, here without ifs and buts, obviously the Olympic Committee condemns this form of sporting, cultural, specifically football ignorance, I say specifically because we speak on behalf of the entire sports system, more than ever in a global context that we know very well how essential it is that there is no differentiation at any level, starting with skin color, races, religions. The effort that the IOC is making to keep this world together is there for all to see.”
