Nardella: “If I met Koulibaly now I would hug him”. But the problem is general, it affects the country not only Florence. For this reason against racism “it is time for action. Those responsible for racist chants must no longer go to the stadium”.

Without closing "the entire curve or a sector of the stadium", but hitting "those responsible, who are a minority". This is what the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, is asking for after the racist chants aimed at Napoli players. The mayor, after the official apologies addressed to the players and the Neapolitan team, returns to the episode in Naples, on the sidelines of a visit to the Hitachi plant.

“I apologized, but I think the best apologies are facts,” he says, addressing “the government of football.” Every Sunday, he continues, “we witness unacceptable episodes of racism. Football should be an example for young people, but I am ashamed to show certain things to my son.

We spend a lot of money in cities, in schools, in campaigns against racism and then we find racist chants at the stadium. And this is not only true for Florence, it concerns all of Italy: Fiorentina itself was the victim of racist chants in Bergamo”. Here, now “the government of football must move from words to action, because the post-match condemnations are useless. They serve no purpose”.
