Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri also wanted to show his closeness to Mike Maignan, dedicating a letter to him on his Instagram profile: "Dear Mike I write to you… As a colleague, and above all as a human being. I am close to you for what è happened. It è not the first time, but ALL TOGETHER we must make sure that it is the’last".

"This cannotè happen in our stadium, it must not happen in any stadium, on any field, anywhere – continued the Friulans’ extreme defender – 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 also feel like defending this city, this club and this fan base. Defending those who really love soccer. Respect and education are part of our values, and also our team è symbol of integration".

"These people è much more, much more than some jerk who shouts out loud stupid words doing publicityà to his ignorance and shame to his corner. Dear Mike…stay strong! With esteem and affection for the colleague and above all for the human being" concluded Silvestri.
