Inter fans chant against Maradona in match against Napoli

A group of Inter fans launched offensive chants against Diego Maradona in the run-up to the match against Napoli, at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, for the 16th round of Serie A of the Italian football league. The deputy of the League, Simona Loizzo, denounced this situation: “Tonight, before the Inter-Napoli match, we witnessed shameful chants not only against the city of Naples, but also against Diego Maradona, with quotes of cholera and invocations to Vesuvius,” in statements reproduced by ANSA. In addition, he criticized the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Gabriele Gravina, for pretending “that nothing happens, while every Sunday one of Italy’s pride cities is vilified and outraged as it happened forty years ago.” What is Gravina waiting for to move? Really, ridiculous. Are the fines of ten thousand euros enough to resolve the matter?”, asked Loizzo with anger, referring to the measures of the FIGC in similar situations in the “Calcio”. In the match, Napoli, the Serie A leader, fell 1-0 away to Inter and lost its unbeaten 19-round streak. It is currently leading with 41 points and is chased by Milan, the last champion, with 36.
