“I was at the gates when a fan, approximately my age, spat on me. Yes, he spat on my Juventus faith, after I had kindly given way to let me in, making me believe he was doing me a favor. “Come through, professor,” he said. I responded with a smile and went through, only to realize later that he was spitting at my feet, a sign of contempt.” Professor Paolo Ascierto, a well-known oncologist at the Pascale Cancer Institute in Naples and a leading expert in the treatment of melanoma, as well as one of the main protagonists in the fight against Covid, shared this unpleasant experience on his Facebook page.
Ascierto, who has always been an open Juventus fan despite deeply loving the city of Naples, recounted the incident he experienced the night before the Napoli-Juventus match. The professor said he was initially not interested in participating in the match, but was persuaded by a friend.
Even though he was tired, he also brought his son, also a Juventus player, to Maradona. After the incident, Ascierto said he was very upset and reflected on his decision not to watch the match from the comfort of his home. Despite the offensive act, Ascierto avoided a reaction, preferring not to disturb his son Luca, also a Juventus player. However, he concluded with an expression of frustration and bitterness towards the unpleasant episode.
