Video: Italian soccer players forced to remove jerseys
Check out the video.
Irate Italian soccer fans demanded that the Genoa Serie A soccer team hand over their jerseys because they weren’t good enough to wear them.
It happened during Sunday’s match between Genoa and Siena.
Genoa fans were so upset that their team was losing 4-0 at one point, that they threw smoke bombs and firecrackers onto the field. Then they demanded that the players take off their shirts because they weren’t “worthy of the colors.”
All of the Genoa players cooperated, except for loan striker Giuseppe Sculli, who refused to remove his shirt. Wingback Giandomenico Mesto broke down in tears.
Play finally resumed after a 40-minute delay.
Siena won 4-1.
On Monday, the Genoa team fired coach Alberto Malesani. They replaced him with Luigi De Canio for the final five matches of Serie A. That marks a record 18th coaching change in the Italian league this season.
Genoa has the worst defense in the league and is one point above the relegation zone with a match at AC Milan on Wednesday.
the fans are right.We pay big money to watch these overpaid players take us for granted.They should know that they owe it to the fans to play to the best of their ability.If you put the effort in no one will burn you even when loosing .
Next time they will try harder
Good for the fans
This shows that the fans have no sportsmanship and should be ashamed for acting like 3 year old children throwing a tatrum and showing thier asses. If they are not there to cheer thier team on and too have fun, then they need to stay home and never come outside until they grow up and can act like human beings instead of irrate fools. Anyone that acts and does things like these people are no better than criminals, who taunt and perform acts of aggression and try to inflict harm on another human; just because they think they have a right to do it. Well, the whole team ort to quit and anyone else refuse to play a game again for these idiots; because they dont deserve the pleasure and enjoyment of seeing anyone else play another game for them ever again.
With this, I can say the same for any other country that displays these same actions; you don’t deserve to have the best of the best players to ever play a game for you ever again. These players go out and bust thier bodies up and spend ungodly hours practicing just to give thier best playing a good game for thier fans and country.
It is called a game, because two teams come together, do thier best and one team wins and another doesn’t. They display good sportsmanship and go home knowing they did thier best and should always have the support of thier country and fans, whether they win or lose!!! If the people act like criminals, then they need to be arrested and dealt with accordingly!!!
To all the teams of every sport in every country, thanks for all you do and God Bless and Keep You Safe in all of your Practices and Games ALWAYS!!! And may the Almighty look down on every game and deal accordingly with all your Fans and Countrymen!!!
