Matino: “They wished me dead because I was Neapolitan.”
Matino apologizes but counterattacks
Emmanuele Matino, in the crosshairs for the unpleasant episode that saw him as the protagonist at the 'Druso' in Bolzano Saturday afternoon, apologizes but goes on the counterattack.
"I apologize to the ball boy for the gesture I made,” said the footballer in force at Bari. “It certainly was not my intention to use 'violence' (small push) but è it was only due to the haste of trying to recover the game. But it è not less serious to wish death just becauseé Neapolitan".
The incident in question è happened during the match between Sudtirol and Bari played in Bolzano on Saturday afternoon. At the end of the match, the South Tyroleans won 1-0, with the decisive goal scored by Daniele Casiraghi on a penalty kick in the 60th minute. For Bari it è was the first stop of the Iachini management, after successes against Lecco and Feralpisalò.
