“I apologize for this ugly gesture, to all the people, to the Cesena club, to all those who work in Cesena, I know them, they are great people, I have disappointed them. I apologize a hundred thousand times. As a father I have gone a bit out of my mind”. Words, on the Tgr Rai of Emilia-Romagna, by Alex Shpendi, father of the Albanian striker Christian, at the exit of the police station Cesena.
A real madness that happened at the end of the challenge between Cesena e Olbia, valid for Group B of Serie C. After the 1-0 victory of the black and whites, the father of Shpendi, the home team's striker, invaded the pitch aiming straight at the visiting goalkeeper Filippo rinaldi, trying to attack him and punch him in the face.
The motivation in a previous hard contrast with his son, then forced to abandon the pitch due to an injury to the eyebrow arch. Timely intervention by the players (midfielder Riccardo Chiarello above all) and managers on the pitch to stop the man's fury.
