Chants against Balo at Juve-Udinese
Monday 23 November, 2009
A section of Juventus fans in both the curva nord and curva sud sang distasteful chants against Inter striker Mario Balotelli, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The incident happened during Juventus' match with Udinese on Sunday night and perhaps serves as a warning to Balotelli ahead of Inter's trip to Turin on December 5.
The 19-year-old striker was abused at the Olimpico last season, sparking a debate about whether the chants were racist or not.
Yesterday's chants of “if you jump, Balotelli dies” were so loud the loudspeaker actually repeated a “no to racism” announcement three times.
However, as there was no reference to the colour of his skin, La Gazzetta dello Sport is unsure whether any official sanction can be taken against the fans.
After the game, Juventus boss Ciro Ferrara said: “I am against any kind of insult and racial discrimination, but if we go to football grounds we shouldn't be surprised, as there are insults in all the stadiums.
“I have been a player and still remember the chant “let the Vesuvius burn them all”. I remember it and it hurts me. It's true that the public pays, but they don't have any right to offend people.”
