The measure, as the Viminale informs, “is aimed at guaranteeing the protection of public order and safety and preventing the recurrence of episodes that could jeopardize the smooth running of sporting events”. The Nerazzurri fans will therefore not be able to follow the Beneamata in the away matches of Reggio Emilia with Sassuolo and in those of Lecce and Florence, while the derby with AC Milan on March 8 remains excluded from the measures, since there will be no movement between the fans.

“I would like to condemn a gesture like this – were the very stern words to ‘DAZN’ from Beppe Marotta, president of Inter -. It has nothing to do with the values of sport, and it is absolutely insulting. The sorrow is great and it is not only mine. To share it is practically the entirety of Inter fans”.

A comment also on the Cremonese goalkeeper: “I express my great appreciation for the professionalism of Audero. With his behavior he helped defend his goal and carry the game to the end”.

Also dry was Lautaro Martinez, who in turn spoke to the microphones of ‘DAZN’. “These things must not happen. There’s a risk of a person getting hurt. We have to be careful, because we give a show that is seen all over the world. I want to apologize to Audero and to all the Cremonese fans” said the Inter Milan captain.
