Stretcher says goodbye to everyone and a storm erupts
Inter mortgaged the Scudetto after a thrilling 4-3 win in Como.
The Nerazzurri took advantage of Napoli’s draw in Parma to stretch to +9 in the standings and see the title with six days to go in the Serie A championship. Among the best on the field in the Nerazzurri was definitely Nicolò Barella, a leader in midfield and decisive in the two goals scored by Thuram.
At 77′ Chivu called him back to the bench: upon his exit from the field, the Sinigaglia crowd loudly booed the former Como player, who in response looked around, smiled mockingly and made an ironic hand-waving gesture. A message not only to the Como audience but to the whole league, and the reaction on social media was not long in coming.
The gesture was harshly condemned by those cheering against Inter: “Let’s remember that also thanks to this phenomenon we are not in the World Cup,” “He was reminding us of the 5 pears. 5-0 MAYULU”, “As usual blind refereeing team in these cases, never be apply the rules”, “Rightly not cautioned, under the eyes of the fourth man”, “Bamboccioni… they are being snooty. They were trembling against Bosnia, though”, “Here’s another freak exalting himself for winning the Marotta League after contributing to the Italian national team’s rout.”
Nerazzurri fans, on the other hand, extolled their player: “The thing he gassed the most was when he told the linesman to go to hell for being a teacher. But shut up,” “You’re in my heart, Barella,” “Hello everyone, the leading player is leaving,” “Great Barella godo,” “Against everything and everyone great Barella.”
After the match Barella expressed his satisfaction with the victory: “We had a really super reaction, as a team that is still hungry. Scudetto? Let’s wait a little longer, we won this one but the others are always ready to wait for our mistake. The good thing is that it’s all in our hands. Como is a great team and they are proving it. Coming here is very difficult, they play great soccer. We had to pull out something we didn’t have, it’s proof that we are a strong team.”
