Something unacceptable in ethics and sports has happened in Frosinone. Captain Callejon threw the shirt towards the fans and some of them returned it shouting “We deserve more”. Mertens, stunned, wondered why; his teammates won the locker room down: at that point there was no longer a victory to celebrate. The authors of the incomprehensible and offensive gesture, referable to the ultr group of Curva B, are probably among those who on Saturday night hoisted in symbolic places of Napoli, like piazza Plebiscito, banners against De Laurentiis. It is well known that they have been contesting it for years, regardless of purchasing campaigns and results. The president of Napoli is among the few leaders to have raised a wall between his company and these factions with detailed complaints that twelve years ago also led to arrests of showers. Those chants of protest at the San Paolo, for quite some time, have been underlined by the whistles of the spectators present in other sectors: no one can feel himself master of the stadium and of cheering.
In recent months, a debate has opened on the meaning of this season and all judgments are legitimate, as is the tribute to the former coach. But from the banner “Sarri uno di noi”, always exhibited in Curva B a week ago, at the thankless gesture of Frosinone there runs. It is offensive to Ancelotti and the players; for those who have been fighting for years to keep the team’s prestige high, starting with Callejon. Do we deserve more? Maybe players able to make Napoli take the decisive shot for the championship? But what could an expensive champion think of a supporter in which there is a fringe that badly rejects the captain’s shirt after a victory and a qualifying Champions? What appeal could Napoli and Napoli have? Ancelotti’s presence is a stimulus, but scenes like those seen in Frosinone risk being a brake. We would not be surprised if some Italians began to wonder about whether to stay.
